TORONTO, May 6, 2019 /CNW/ - Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO), the licensing and regulating body for professional engineers and engineering in the province, installed Nancy Hill, P.Eng., LLB, FEC, FCAE, as its 100th president during its annual general meeting (AGM) at the Hilton Toronto Hotel on May 4.
Committed to strengthening PEO's licensing regime and governance, Ms. Hill has over 20 years of volunteer leadership experience with PEO and the engineering community, including previous service as chair of PEO's Complaints, Awards and Women in Engineering Advisory committees. As both an engineer and founding partner of Canadian patent and trademark firm Hill & Schumacher, Ms. Hill is passionate about building a stronger profession for Ontario's engineers.
PEO's Council for the 2019-2020 term was also introduced at the AGM. The nine women and 16 men on the new Council will govern PEO's 87,500 licence and certificate holders, and regulate the practice of professional engineering in Ontario to serve and protect the public interest.
