ACEC - NB

The Association of Consulting Engineering Companies - Canada (ACEC) is pleased to announce the appointment of Caryn Gunter as the new Executive Director for ACEC-New Brunswick (ACEC-NB), ACEC-Prince Edward Island (ACEC-PEI), and ACEC-Newfoundland and Labrador (ACEC-NL). Caryn is life-long resident of New Brunswick where she completed studies in civil engineering and masters in transportation engineering at UNB. She went on to receive her professional engineering designation and worked at the New Brunswick Department of Transportation and Infrastructure in several different capacities (including policy, strategic planning and project management) and was most recently the Department’s Alignment Champion and Director of Performance Excellence. Caryn joins the team with a wealth of knowledge and experience in strategic planning, project management, advocacy, process improvement, negotiation and change management.

Yesterday, the ACEC-NB board gathered to celebrate and thank two board members who have completed their terms. Christine Plourde, FEC, P. Eng. (She/Her) served on the board from 2020 to 2024 and was the board President for the year 2022/2023. We also extend our gratitude to Denis Gallant, who served as ex-officio director from 2019 to 2024. Your contributions to the association and the industry are greatly appreciated!

Great to see the Institute helping communities make better infrastructure decision for our collective future. Thanks to all presenters and participants.

L’un des objectifs de notre plan stratégique 2023-2026 est de devenir pour nos membres un centre de ressources sur les tendances, les données et les pratiques exemplaires de l’industrie. Au cours des derniers mois, nous avons travaillé dur pour concrétiser cet objectif. Nous avons commandé une étude à l’ACEC Research Institute – l’organe de recherche de l’ACEC-US – sur l’impact de l’industrie du génie-conseil sur l’économie canadienne. Les résultats sont éloquents. Il est indéniable que notre industrie enrichit le pays. Sa contribution au PIB du Canada s’élève à plus de 61 milliards de dollars et elle est à l’origine de 389 000 emplois. Le rapport de l’Institut sera publié d’ici quelques semaines, mais vous pouvez déjà prendre connaissance des conclusions préliminaires en cliquant ci-dessous. Ces données quantifiables nous aideront dans nos activités de représentation, car elles montrent concrètement au gouvernement et aux autres parties prenantes que notre industrie contribue réellement à l’économie globale du pays. Outre ce rapport, l’Institut réalisera deux fois par an des sondages auprès des firmes de génie afin de recueillir le point de vue des dirigeants. Les résultats de cette enquête viendront compléter les données économiques et permettront de dresser un tableau plus détaillé de notre secteur et de son avenir. Nous sommes impatients de publier les résultats de la première enquête dans les semaines à venir sur le site Web de l’AFGC réservé aux membres.

Having also attended the ACEC Atlantic Leadership Forum yesterday, it was wonderful to engage in discussions on crucial industry topics. I felt proud to be a part of shaping the future, grateful for the meaningful conversations, and excited for future collaborations that I hope will guide our industry forward and help to enable a sustainable tomorrow. Atlantic Canada has a wonderful set of leaders and I’m excited to see what the coming years and engineering sector growth has in store for us!

Workshop Registration now available! Presented by the Future Leaders Committee A Coaching Approach to Leadership in the Modern Workplace Delta Fredericton on May 2nd, 10 am - 4 pm Open to all members, the Future Leaders Committee is proud to present this educational workshop entitled A Coaching Approach to Leadership in the Modern Workplace. This session will be led by Ross Preston and Dr. Catherine Lavers from Adroit Solutions based in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Registration is $70 (lunch included) with a limit of only 50 spaces available so register ASAP. Session Description: One of the best ways we can ensure the success of our organizations is to be deliberate in the way we build our Culture. Broadly speaking Culture describes ‘the way we do things here’. The best Cultures are those which equally ensure efficiency of output, competitive edge and employees who feel valued, collaborating well to give their best. In short they are a great place to work and are successful. Creating a ‘Coaching Culture’ is the best way to achieve this. A Coaching Culture is supported by a style of leadership that sets clear goals and expectations, clearly defining ‘What’ needs to be achieved whilst supporting those individuals responsible for delivery to take ownership of the ‘How’. This approach fosters leaders at all levels within an organization, creating a sense of accomplishment, pride and job satisfaction. This session will explore how your organizational Culture currently functions; and whether there are changes you could make in your leadership practices that would better support a Coaching Culture. It will introduce you to principles and tools used to lead with a Coaching Approach. You will also have opportunities to practice these skills. Finally, you will create an action plan for taking this from theory into action. REGISTER HERE 👉 https://lnkd.in/etUAveCz
