"I am committed to seeing the profession of agrology make great strides as we continue to address the enactment of the Professional Governance Act and the granting of exclusive practice rights, which will require an immense amount of work, but is imperative to ensuring decisions affecting BC's natural resources are science-based, transparent, and protect the BC's unique environment for future generations. To both my professional and personal associations, I endeavour to be ethical and transparent at all times. I encourage inclusive conversations, appreciate other perspectives on important issues, and believe that diversity of opinion helps foster better decision-making" ~ Rebecca Martin, PAg
