Interested in volunteering at OSPE? We’re making a list!
As a not-for-profit professional association, OSPE relies on the talent and practical experience of volunteers. The individual reasons why engineers volunteer at OSPE vary, but most share a common desire to effect positive change for the engineering profession in Ontario. This is your profession and you can make a difference.

While there are a limited number of volunteer opportunities available at any given time, we are asking all interested engineers to let us know how they might like to help now or in the future to advance advocacy efforts, develop policy and set priorities. Now that we are an independent organization with a membership that has chosen to join, we want to tap into your knowledge and experience. Our Board strongly supports an active membership and believes that OSPE needs the expertise of its membership. We understand the importance of your time, so please take a minute to tell us more about how you would like to participate.

Simply login to our “Member’s Only” section at www.ospe.on.ca and click on “Volunteer.” Use the form provided to complete your volunteer profile, including details about your volunteer experience and interests. A document entitled Volunteering at OSPE…What You Need to Know is also provided to give you an idea of what input might be required of you or about joining a committee, for example. It’s that simple. Add your voice to the profession by taking a moment to login and add your information today!

If you have questions on volunteering at OSPE that are not answered here, please contact OSPE’s Coordinator, Member Services, Andrea Vecera at avecera@ospe.on.ca or (416) 223-9961, ext. 222. We look forward to seeing you in person in the future!
