TIME: 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
Session Abstract:
Want to learn more about the Association’s governing body? Interested in running for OAA Council—this year or one day? With fall elections fast approaching, you are invited to join a special panel of current and past Councillors to learn more about what it means to serve both the profession and the people of Ontario.
Open to all Architects and Intern Architects, this FREE webinar, held on Tuesday, August 27 from 1 to 2 pm.
Led by OAA Executive Director Kristi Doyle, this interactive session features Council President Settimo Vilardi, Past Presidents Susan Speigel and Toon Dreessen, Vice President Lara McKendrick, and Michelle Longlade, Lieutenant Governor in Council Appointee. They will explore the roles and responsibilities of Council, the critical importance of self-regulation and protecting the public interest, as well as practical topics like what it means to be a Councillor: from elections and what makes an ideal nominee to work load, benefits, and time commitment.
Panellists will be responding to moderated questions, and there will also be an open Q&A with the audience, enabling you to enquire about all those things that you have always wondered about, but never had the opportunity to ask. Whether you are strongly considering to run this year, or just want a better understanding of the work of Councillors and whether you would be a good candidate, this promises to be an insightful, firsthand peer-to-peer discussion.
