ANNUAL REPORT 2009 – 2010

The Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians andTechnologists (OACETT) is the certifying body for more than 23,000engineering technology professionals in Ontario.

OACETT is dedicated to excellence in the engineering and appliedscience technology profession in a manner that serves and protectsthe public interest.

OACETT is a self-governing professional association that functionsunder the OACETT Act for the purpose of protecting public safety,governing its members and providing a wide range of memberbenefits and services.

Certified members of OACETT may use the following titles anddesignations:

• Certified Engineering Technologist (C.E.T.)• Applied Science Technologist (A.Sc.T.)• Certified Technician (C.Tech.)

Members may also use these designations after qualifying:• Road construction contract administrator (rcca)• Road construction senior inspector (rcsi)• Road construction junior inspector (rcji)

David SaundersB.E.S., C.E.T.

First, we continue to show solidgrowth in total membership and

a continuing increase in the numberof certified members who nowrepresent 65 per cent of ou r totalmembership, up from just 60 percent five years ago. Your Councilbelieves this represents strength inthe value proposition of bothmembership in OACETT andcertification in the marketplace. Weare cognizant of the need toimprove the value proposition andever mindful of the encroachingdemographic bulge, as many of ourmembers look to retirement. Weare working hard to attractstudents, young professionals andthe internationally trained, and aretaking the necessary steps toadvance them to certification.

Second, our fiscal situationcontinues to strengthen by allaccounts through the strongstewardship of both volunteers and

staff. On the staff front, we arefortunate to have a loyal,committed group of professionalswho provide good service, goodadvice, implement the policies ofCouncil and who have madesacrifices without complaint duringrecent difficult economic times.

Third, your volunteerleadership has shown a capacity toexercise responsible risk-taking bymaking tough, contentiousdecisions to advance the interestsof the membership and the public.As noted in Martine Band’s report,we challenged our members toconsider universal professionalliability insurance. We haverationalized our designations bygrandfathering the A.Sc.T., and nolonger granting it, in part, torespond to employer needs and toimprove the brand of our C.Tech.and C.E.T. designations. Finally,after major investments to improvethe Federation, which did not comeabout, OACETT along with four ofour sister organizations have madethe difficult but necessary decisionto withdraw from the CanadianCouncil of Technicians andTechnologists. We supportmembership in a national federationbut one that is more efficient,equitable and fair with a mandate toundertake what’s important to do,not what is nice to do!

Fourth, we continue our effortsto work with other stakeholders for

THE YEAR IN REVIEW

As I complete the first ofmy two-year term as yourPresident, I would like tooffer our membership andstakeholders a briefsummary of what I believeto be importantmilestones for theAssociation over the pastyear.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT

Page 4: Annual Report 2010

For those who are curious, I am paid staff. Likewise, a few members askabout the salaries of the volunteers who sit on Council—they are not

paid but their OACETT-related expenses are covered. Since this AnnualReport covers in detail the Association’s activities, accomplishments andfinancial performance, which the staff are instrumental in, I thought Iwould provide our members with a brief overview of the staff supportingthe leadership and membership of OACETT.

OACETT has a complementary governance structure with electedvolunteers making policy, setting budgets and establishing performancetargets with staff assigned the responsibility of providing advice,recommendations and implementing the directions established by Council.Staff routinely report to your elected Council and its various committees onoperational issues. This helps us avoid the major failings of manyorganizations since responding to whether we are achieving what we saidwe would and within budget keeps us accountable. However part of thestaff culture is to “under promise and over deliver”.

The staff of OACETT represents a healthy variety of ages andbackgrounds with our average age reflecting the demographics of themembership. Succession planning is important to us but we are challengedby a relatively small organization with limited opportunities to promotefrom within. To continually challenge and keep staff interested whileretaining the best and the brightest, our management team provides

mutual benefit and in the service ofthe public interest. For example,Professional Engineers Ontario willbe including the LicensedEngineering Technologist (L.E.T.)with a Certificate of Authorization,in a new Omnibus Bill which shouldbe tabled shortly in the provinciallegislature. Although the appeal ofthis instrument is limited amongstthe membership and has been awork in progress for close to adecade, it does provide pathwaysfor our membership and willenhance the competitiveness of theeconomy, as well as, improvinginter-provincial labour mobility.

You are encouraged to readother highlights in this AnnualReport. You are also encouraged toquestion, probe and challenge yourvolunteer leadership.

While this statement mightseem a bit “out there”, it

ended up being our “modusoperandi” as we embarked on whatwould become one of the mostaggressive agendas the PASB hasundertaken.

Our largest and most dauntingtask this year was the governancereview of the PASB and chapterrules. We spent a great deal of timeanalyzing, investigating, anddiscussing best practices. Weneeded to ensure that the activitiesof the chapters and PASB were inconcurrence with our by-laws andpolicies. We also needed to ensurethat the chapters were providedthe tools to manage their affairseffectively and efficiently. Thisprocess could not have beencompleted without the strongteamwork exhibited by the PASBcouncillors, board members,chapter volunteers and dedicatedstaff. I must also thank you, ourdedicated OACETT members, forthe ideas and solutions youcommunicated to us. They assistedgreatly in preparing the documents

latitude for employee risk-takingand the delegation of authority andaccountability. Our pay iscompetitive based on recentindependent analysis with salaryand benefits set at the median forsimilar organizations.

A big plus for us is thatemployees generally like the varietyof the work and enjoy serving themembership. On that note, themembership is always generouswith feedback and praise whichhelp staff to improve efficienciesand service to the members andgeneral public.

Our staff is an enterprisinggroup who sometimes respectfullychallenge the volunteer leadership,as well as their management team.We spend money (not enough Ithink) on professional developmentand team building. Our staffcollectively engage in charity work,plan social functions, work hard toreduce our office environmentalfootprint, and are increasinglyactive in health and wellnessprograms to make ourselves andthe volunteer leadership morehealthy and productive.

Overall, they are a great groupto work with!

“Sit down, strap in andhang on!” was how Istarted our firstProfessional Affairs andServices Board Meeting ofthe year.

In addition your boardwill be developing a “Chapter ToolBox” that will have the forms,appendices and definitions toassist you in running yourchapters. We’re also reviewingour member benefits programs.Plans are underway to expand ourofferings and increase the value ofyour membership.

that were presented during yourregional meetings.

Another area this year whereteamwork played an important rolewas our Women in TechnologyCommittee planning sessions.Women are an under representedgroup in our Association and as ourpopulation ages we need to tapinto this resource to fill theupcoming labour shortage. Thecommittee of 15 female membersand partners had their first strategysession recently. The committee isin the process of developing itsdeliverables along with a businessplan to achieve them. I look forwardto the implementation of this planlater this year. Stay tuned forupcoming articles and reports onthis important initiative!

Teamwork is everywhere in ourAssociation. I have been fortunateto visit with many of the chaptersand regions to experience this firsthand. I have also had theopportunity to participate in yourevents to introduce youth to theidea of technology as a professionalcareer as well as networkingseminars, plant tours, and socialgatherings where members get toknow each other and their familiesbetter. Without strong teamworkthese events would not besuccessful.

ADVANCING OURCOMMITMENT TOCERTIFICATION

Certification, standardsand national accreditationare a few of the majorissues IETO has focusedon this past year. Asalways, our commitmentto certification withoutcompromising OACETT’sstandard is forefront in ourefforts.

Colleges with two visits to FlemingCollege in mid-April 2010. Anadditional 11 are scheduled for thefall at Centennial, Humber,Algonquin and Sheridan Colleges. Iam pleased to report that Ontariocurrently tops the country with 49nationally accredited programs.

IETO’s overall performancefinished strong for 2009.• We certified 940 new members,79 more than in 2008, surpassingthe target of 724 set for the year. Fulltime applications also increased to1,088; 89 more than 2008. • 271 members reinstated theirmembership in OACETT. Thisindicates the value of certification asprior members are returning.• 168 members reclassified theirmembership category.• 117 new or existing membersapplied for the road constructiondesignations bringing the total to1,043.• 296 technology proposals and185 reports were processed.

IETO has introduced an onlineProfessional Practice Seminar tocomplement the online exam. Thisalternative to the in-personweekend seminar allows applicantsto register, complete the seminar,and take a practice exam onlineconveniently from their home oroffice. The online seminar benefitsthose members who are unable totravel to the in-person seminar orprefer a self-directed approach. We

Highlighted below are some ofour exciting developments.

We are currently working with ourfellow organizations across Canadato develop a common certificationand registration model based onthe National TechnologyBenchmarks (NTB). The final resultof this collaboration will be anonline registration system on theTechnology Registrations Canada(TRC) website. The NTB are alreadysuccessfully utilized in assessingcollege engineering technology andapplied science programs fornational accreditation. The TRCwebsite will allow trainedtechnology professionals to self-assess education and workexperience against the NTB andsubmit an application fromanywhere in the world to aprovincial association of theirchoice. TRC will also help introduceprior learning assessmentrecognition (PLAR) to applicantswho do not possess a traditionaleducation. IETO is currently testingthe TRC self-assessmentapplication process with newmember volunteers.

National Accreditation ofOntario college programs andtriennial reviews using OACETTcertified members continue to bepriorities for IETO. In 2009 a total ofeight accreditation visits occurredat Niagara, Algonquin,Confederation, and Mohawk

will continue to deliver the two-dayin-person seminar for thoseindividuals preferring an instructor-led learning experience. In additionto the four regularly scheduledweekend seminars, IETO deliveredseminars at La Cité collégiale,Niagara College and in Thunder Bay.

As of January 1, 2010 all newapplicants for certification (exceptthose in road construction) arerecorded as Associate Membersonly. The sub categories of TechnicalSpecialist, Graduate Technician andGraduate Technologist were retired.This will streamline our Associatecategory and reduce confusion assome constituents felt the retiredtitles were certified titles.

OACETT’s on-boardinginitiatives continue to focus onreaching members who only requirethe PPE to complete theircertification, strategies to encouragestudent retention, and further onlineinitiatives for both applications andprofessional references.

IETO saw many membersachieve certification. All of thissuccess could not be achievedwithout the hard work and diligenceof staff.

We are striving to furtherenhance the certification processand hope our initiatives encourageothers to “Get Certified” and takeadvantage of their profession andprofessional association.

The audit report and our 2009Annual Report for the OFC areposted on OACETT’s website.

OACETT’s Complaints andDiscipline process is critical infulfilling an obligation to protectpublic safety and ensure highethical standards for the profession.In 2009, a complaint referred to theDiscipline Committee resulted inthe suspension of the member’sC.Tech. title and his roadconstruction designation.

OACETT continues tosafeguard your titles anddesignations which are the visiblemarks of your certified status andprofessionalism. Members and thepublic can verify membership andcertification on our website andreport misuse of title to theRegistrar. A total of ten letters weresent last year to individuals askingthem to desist using the titleimmediately. All members shouldtake an active role in protectingtheir professional titles.

Recognizing our unique,important relationship with Ontariocolleges, IETO has developed andnurtured college partnershipagreements with seven Ontariocolleges and continues to fosterrelationships with others. TheProfessional Practice Exam (PPE) isembedded in the curriculum at fivecolleges and the ProfessionalPractice Seminar and exam areoffered to students at two

In fact, as I write this we have justcompleted an update of our IETOrules which govern the registrationand certification of our members.

We continue to provideprofessional member service, andtimely certification whilemaintaining and upholding theprofessional standard of our titles. Iam particularly proud of oursuccessful compliance audit whichcorroborated the fair and unbiasedstewardship of OACETT’sregistration practices.

All regulatory and certifyingbodies must undergo anindependent compliance auditmandated by the Office of theFairness Commissioner (OFC).OACETT’s audit was conducted inaccordance with the Fair Access toRegulated Professions Act, 2006(FARPA).

Overall the audit shows ourregistration and certificationprocesses provide timely decisionsand responses, internalreviews/appeals, information onappeal rights, documentation ofqualifications, assessment ofqualifications, training and accessto records and meet the highstandards required under FARPA. Itis satisfying to have an independentthird party confirm that ourassessment and certificationprocesses are transparent,objective, timely, consistent,impartial and fair.

The past year has beenindustrious andsuccessful for the officeof the Registrar. Mystaff and I arecommitted to thecontinual improvementof registrationprocesses.

additional colleges. The Fast Track to Technology

Occupations (FTTO) projectspearheaded by Sheridan andCentennial colleges and of whichOACETT was an active partner,concluded in December 2009 witha wrap-up celebration hosted bythe two colleges. The eventhighlighted the achievements ofgraduates and students whoparticipated in the project andthanked partners such as OACETT.

We continue to advance therecognition of internationallytrained professionals byparticipating in Skills for Changeand Settlement, and IntegrationServices Organization activities.

In 2009 I completed my tenureas Chair of the Council of Registrars(COR), and became the CORrepresentative on the CanadianTechnology Accreditation Boardwhich conducts nationalaccreditation of engineering andapplied science programs atCanadian colleges. The CORmeetings have been focused oncompleting revisions to theNational Technology Benchmarks,and with the development of a newwebsite and self-assessmentapplication process.

Looking back at the year weare proud of our accomplishmentsand are looking forward to anotheryear of excellence in certification.

OACETT has not beenalone in weathering thestorm of the economicdownturn, but we haveremained focused indelivering top service toour members.

MEMBER SERVICE,PERFORMANCEIMPROVEMENT ANDENGAGEMENT ARE TOPPRIORITIES

We contained costs bystreamlining processes,

eliminating inefficiencies andfocusing on outreach to membersand potential members.

The Professional Affairs andServices Board had a very clearmandate in 2009 which was toprovide leadership training to ourmany volunteers, outreach toemployers, increase membership,align chapter activities withcorporate strategy, enhancecommunications, reduce costs andincrease alternative revenuestreams. I am very pleased toreport that we have made progressin all of these areas.

The Ontario Technologistmagazine continues to be a topnotch publication where ourmembers are profiled, industrynews is published, chapter eventshighlighted and it is used as amarketing tool for outreachactivities. The OACETT websitecontinues to be enhanced throughan internal task force and we werefront and centre in promotingNational Engineering Week inOntario with our colleagues theProfessional Engineers of Ontario,Consulting Engineers of Ontario,the Ontario Science Centre and theOntario Society of ProfessionalEngineers. Communication througha variety of mediums buildsawareness of OACETT and thecredentials of our members.

In October 2009 we hosted theOACETT Provincial Awards Galawhere 29 award recipients werehonored. We had over 200 peoplein attendance with representationfrom government, industry andacademia. The feedback from thisevent was excellent and theAwards Committee is to becommended for their hard workand dedication.

Services such as the CanadianTechnical Employment Network(CTEN), Technology Report WritingSeminar, rings and stamps continueto be beneficial for OACETTmembers. Whether members arelooking for employment oremployers are recruiting, CTEN is aconduit for accessing top talent andcareer opportunities. The two-dayTechnology Report Writing Seminarreceives excellent ratings from bothmembers and non-members asthey know that writing effectivetechnical reports gives them acompetitive advantage in theworkplace. Certified members areusing the ring and stamp as asymbol of their accomplishmentsand the collective use of thesesymbols contributes to theawareness of certification and yourcredentials.

The hard work, dedication andcreativity of our 27 chapterscontinue to astonish us. These 300plus volunteers continue topromote OACETT at the local level

by holding various events formembers and non-members. It isthrough these events that ourmembers learn first hand thebenefits of certification and thepower of networking.

Membership continues to growbut we can’t rest on our laurels. Aswe bring in new members we haveother members retiring and thistrend will continue. The strength ofour membership is in numbers asthis is what gives us credibility withgovernment, industry and thecolleges. This year we continued tofocus on outreach to companieswho employ our members. Ourvisits are always well received andcertification is highly recognized.These companies slowed downtheir hiring in recent years but theycontinued to look for the “best andthe brightest” and I am happy toreport that OACETT certifiedmembers fit into this category. Withthe projected labour shortagethese credentials are what will setour members apart within theworkplace.

This has been a fast paced yearwith much progress taking place. Iwant to thank the ProfessionalAffairs and Services Board,chapters and staff for their vision,hard work and dedication to themembers of OACETT. It has been apleasure working with everyone.

IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST

If you were to search theOACETT Act for areference to the “publicinterest”, or even to itsmore modest offspring“public safety”, your effortswould be in vain. YetOACETT has assumed foritself a mission of ensuringthat the engineering andapplied science professionis one that serves andprotects the publicinterest.

It’s an ambitious vision to be sure,but we should neither strive for noraccept less.

I cannot offer you a definitionof the “public interest” but I, likeyou, know it when I see it. There isalways a danger in citing oneexample at the expense of another,nevertheless, I would like tohighlight a few initiatives that areparticularly meaningful for me:� The debate on mandatoryprofessional liability insurance.Serving the public interestsometimes involves raisingcontentious issues and makingunpopular choices. This debate wasone that needed to be had, and isone that deserves to be revisitedfrom time to time. � The governance review, borneof a recognition that anorganization must examine itsgovernance structure anddocuments from time to time toensure that they are consistentwith best practice, that theyfacilitate rather than hinderefficient management and, aboveall, that they continue to effectivelyserve the organization, itsmembers and all those to whom itis accountable.� Encouraging professionaldevelopment through training andthe online tracking of professionaldevelopment activities. Membersand the public can be well servedby the promotion of continuous

learning and by placing a high valueon the acquisition of new skills andthe honing of old ones.� Government relations.Promoting certified members as“qualified persons” allows greaterchoice for employers, providesopportunities for both domesticallyand internationally trainedprofessionals and contributes tothe economy as a whole, all at norisk to public safety. � Strategic appointments toCouncil. The credibility of theAssociation in the eyes of the publicdemands that the affairs of theorganization be under the oversightof a governing body where differentperspectives have a voice and avote.� Emergency planning anddisaster recovery. This may seemrather pedestrian as an exercise,but the Association cannot meetthe needs of its members or thepublic if it is not in a position torebound quickly from acatastrophic event. The initiativeitself demonstrates a healthyrespect for the adage that thosewho do not engage in riskmanagement are doomed topractice crisis management.

Is there more work to be done?Definitely. In the context of avolunteer-driven association,perhaps greater emphasis isneeded on succession planning. Itmay be that the time has come for

mandatory professionaldevelopment to be on the agenda.The public interest is a demandingtask master, and what serves thepublic interest today may no longerdo so tomorrow. But I am pleasedto say that, over the years as amember of Council, I have seen theAssociation mature and grow intoan organization that is increasinglyresponsible and responsive, that isas proactive as it is reactive andthat acts strategically and withdeliberation and foresight. Andthat, I think you will agree, is in thepublic interest.

Page 12: Annual Report 2010

In 2009, the Association’s long-term investments recoveredalmost all of the market value lossincurred in late 2007 and 2008,ending the year with a gain of$247,285. The market value of theinvestment portfolio at the end ofMarch 2010 was over $2.4 million.

In an on-going effort to reducethe pension liability, employeecontributions to the pension fundwere increased again in 2010 andOACETT made additionalcontributions in 2009 over andabove government required funding.Pension fund investments showedsteady improvement in 2009 and inthe first quarter of 2010.

Senior management is currentlylooking at ways to minimize future

pension liabilities while striving toensure OACETT’s employeecompensation package remainscompetitive to attract and retaintalent given the looming skillshortage. Competition for key talentis a concern for all industries.

Membership increased to over23,500 as of December 31, 2009.There was an increase of 1,088regular members and 1,034 studentmembers joining OACETT in 2009.This increase demonstrates therecognition that OACETTcertification has in the marketplace,especially in tough times.

Ongoing technologyenhancements and streamlinedprocesses implemented across theAssociation have resulted in

increased member retention andassociate members moving towardcertification.

A survey to members whocertified over the past two yearsrevealed that the top two reasonsfor moving to certification wasprofessional recognition and careerenhancement. Over sixty per centsaid that being able to access andtrack their certification via theonline exam program helped themcomplete the requirements forcertification.

In keeping with the Govern-ment of Ontario’s requirement toimplement the Harmonized SalesTax (HST), the Association is in theprocess of making technologychanges and developing proceduresto implement HST on July 1, 2010.

A working group chaired byPresident-Elect, Rod MacLeod,B.Sc., C.E.T. completed thedevelopment of a PandemicInfluenza Preparedness andResponse Plan for OACETT inDecember 2009. The DisasterRecovery Plan is expected to becompleted by June 2010.

OACETT has weathered theeconomic downturn and emergedstronger than ever. Strongleadership and fiscal managementand the ability to change with agilitywhen necessary are paying off.

The OACETT team is to becommended for their operatingefficiency and strategic direction.
