Did You Miss the 2025 AGM?

We’ve got you covered on what happened at the meeting.

APSA spoke about the challenges of the past year and our relationship with the University.
Chairperson and president Mike Peragine spoke about the ongoing position eliminations of APSA members, as well as increases in Bullying and Harassment cases, and the current challenges in the post-secondary environment. He also highlighted the wins the APSA currently has, including policy updates from the Joint University Affairs committee, the Spring coffee conversations, APSA's Winter Social on January 15, Fall Social on October 22, and several professional development workshops, both online and in-person. Read his full report here.
Our finances are stable, with a balanced financial review and budget.
Jasper Stoodley, APSA treasurer, spoke about APSA’s expenses and budget. He discussed the board resolution to complete an audit in 2026.
Salary line items also increased. The treasurer noted that APSA staff are compensated in line with SFU APSA employees, so when retro-pay is received, and the salary is increased, the same applies to APSA staff.
APSA's revenue comes from two sources: membership dues and investment interest. Interests improved due to higher interest rates, and APSA dues remained flat, despite several position eliminations, most likely due to hiring at the medical school.

Below are the finances:
