Regional Representatives

Regional Representatives across Canada are integral resources for members and the public. They serve as ambassadors for CAPAPA and for the profession, and as liaisons between CAPAPA and members and future members in their geographic regions.

Regional Representatives must have a good understanding of the profession served by CAPAPA, including the legislation and technological challenges, benefits and opportunities.

Regional Representatives appreciate and can articulate the value that practicing in the profession brings - both to the practitioner and to organizations in the private and public sectors.

Regional Representatives participate in activities that support and enhance CAPAPA’s membership, visibility and reputation. Participation is often in the form of organizing and hosting activities or of representing CAPAPA as a spokesperson or speaker.
