Message from the Chapter Chair
Hello Everyone,
Since 1922, PEO has had the privilege of serving the public and improving the collective quality of life around us as a self-regulated association.
Our profession is committed to remaining current and informed by maintaining the public’s trust and confidence through our newly-enacted Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and Practice Evaluation and Knowledge (PEAK) program.
Our PEO Algoma Chapter also remains committed in supporting our professionals and inspiring students to further knowledge about engineering as a regulated profession.
If you’re interested in volunteering or have any ideas for future events, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected]. It is by working together that we make both our Algoma Chapter and PEO stronger.
We look forward to serving you as your PEO Algoma Chapter Executive and making our profession, clients, and our public proud.
