The Association of Ontario Land Surveyors maintains a membership of approximately 500 men and women spread amongst Licensed and Registered members within the Geomatics profession. We are a very small self-governed occupation that operates under the jurisdiction of the Surveyors Act of Ontario. This self-governance is a privilege. The privilege relies on the participation of its members to maintain control of its office and those that it governs and to think forward, and plan strategically for the future of the profession. Your AOLS Council is the board of directors that leads that charge.
AOLS needs your help.
While many of you sit on Committees and Task Forces that provide valuable input to specific details within our organization, perhaps there is a bigger calling for you to assist?
We need members to run for 2022-2023 Council. This is a minimum three-year term, however I will admit that once involved, it is addictive.
Council involves approximately 8 hours per month of your time. It provides you with insight into the internal workings of our organization (confidential and otherwise), and allows you opportunities to develop and grow personally and as a business professional. The environment is always friendly and helpful with an AOLS staff that is hungry to support, and senior council members anxiously and proudly offering assistance. It is a team effort. Any costs associated with your term (travel, meetings, meals, AGM, etc.) are expensed by AOLS.
Consider this your first call. Something to think about over the rest of the summer. So when asked by the Nominating Committee, or even a group of members in the future, please consider this exciting opportunity. An opportunity for personal growth. An opportunity to show strong support for AOLS. An opportunity to make a difference.
Stay safe, be healthy and enjoy the rest of the summer.
