The Discipline Committee fulfills one of the core
functions of Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba, as mandated by the Act and
by-laws. Discipline Committee members determine, as a panel, whether a
practitioner is guilty of professional misconduct or unskilled practice, and
the appropriate penalties, if any are required. We are currently looking for a
professional member (P.Eng. or P.Geo.) who has 10+ years of professional
practice, knowledge of the Act and by-laws, some knowledge of the judicial
process, and previous experience on EngGeoMB committees. Please see the full
call for volunteers for details.
The Nominating Committee is looking for four new members:
three professional members, one of which needs to be a professional
geoscientist, and one intern (engineering or geoscience) who have a
well-connected network with other professional members, an understanding of
governance, succession planning, board/Council functions, as well as experience
in the field of Human Resources. The Nominating Committee assists Council in
identifying election candidates for councillors for the upcoming election,
replacing any vacancies on Council who meet the criteria for councillors as
described in the Governance Policy, in a manner consistent with the Act and
by-laws, and takes into consideration the broadest possible diversity of the
membership. Please see the
call for volunteers for more information.
