This is exciting news to hear that you are running for President-elect of PEO! I definitely support you for this position. I wish you the very best and would be more than glad to further support you as required for the 2012 elections. Let me know how I could help. JT

So, when I received your news I was glad to know that we may work together in the future. JB

This is so exciting! I'm more than happy to help. Count me in for help with your campaign. KP

Way t'a go Bob!! Forwarded this to AY's e-mail. Let us know of anything else we can do. LC

Count me in. AC

Best of luck and please let me know if there is anything else that I can do. HU

You will have my support. RF

I will reach out to my other friends who are and get them to participate. Good luck, Bob. You'd make a great PEO president. JW

Good luck with your nominations and campaign! LN

I am all yours re helping in any way I can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BC

Perfect. Glad to hear. MM

I am happy to hear this good news, and sure I will support you. I will try to get the votes of some of our colleagues. Thanks a lot and good luck. ME

Gosh! I will be delighted to support you. NB

Great news. WK

Of course you can count on my support. Good luck. RK

I would like to support you in your bid to become PEO President. JT

Thank you for your helpful response. Improving the membership process by making it "straightforward to join" is certainly necessary! I will share this with my colleagues. MR

Engineering Colleagues, You have probably by now received your PEO voting package in the mail. Before you vote, please take a moment to review the information and links below. Bob Loree is running for President-elect for 2012 and I highly recommend him for your consideration when you vote. Bob and I have been best of friends since we met in grade five. His career as Professional Engineer, Educator and Dean of First Year Engineering Students has been nothing less than remarkable. He has devoted a lifetime to helping students prepare for technical careers, including becoming a Professional Engineer. If you have been following the recent news coming from PEO and OSPE, you are well aware of the infighting and lack of professionalism being exhibited by our association representatives. Bob wants to be an agent for change and improve the way our association does business and make it more responsive to and responsible to the greater membership. If you too think that it is time for significant change, please vote for Bob Loree for President-elect of Professional Engineers Ontario 2012. Please forward this note to any of your PEO colleagues who you think might be interested. Regards, GR

This is fantastic! What a huge amount of change! People are often resistant to change, however... Focusing on the benefits of the massive membership increase this would entail could really improve the organization. M

I'm not a PEO member, but I forwarded it to two colleagues who are. They have the same concerns about the PEO that you seek to address - why join PEO, better transparency, and putting the membership to better use. I'd vote for you if I could! AW

Best of luck with your campaign!! I know you'll be a great President. AP

I mailed my ballot today & you got my support. Good luck. A

I and my group are recommending you strongly. AT

I'm really glad that you are running for President of PEO. You are having all my support and please let me know if there is anything I can do. All the best. CB

We were acquainted through McMaster. I saw your candidacy for PEO President. You know you have my vote! I'm spreading the word as well. Good luck Bob! BH

Hope you are doing well during these busy times before the elections. You can count on my vote and hopefully everyone who I have recommended you to! J

I have asked all our P. Eng.s to vote for you. Best wishes. P

I think you would be a great next PEO president, all the best during the campaign and I will try and get some votes your way. Take care. B

I'll forward this to several engineers I know and see if they can help. Good luck. CB

If you vote for yourself, you will have at least two votes. Best of luck. Your election ad stood out. DC

You have my vote Bob and I have suggested your name to a colleague. DJ

I have already voted for you. Good luck. D

You have my vote. Best of luck! J

Got the PEO elections material this afternoon. Cast my vote online. You have my support - good luck!!! DO

We are acquainted with each other through your PPE preparation course. I wish I could vote for you, however, Limited Licensees cannot be members of PEO in accordance with the PEO Act. I am somewhat frustrated by this. Limited Licensees are regulated by PEO, subject to discipline by PEO and pay dues to PEO. It would be nice to have some say. I wish you all the best in the election. EW

Good luck hope that you win. I have passed work around let me know if I can do more. F

I would like to introduce Bob to you. I had contact with Bob when I studied for my Professional Practice Examination. He offered me a lot of assistance for the exam and I succeeded. I would elect Bob for president. G

Wow! You've done an awful lot of very impressive work. It looks really good. Good luck with the campaign. G

Good luck with this. From my perch, the PEO is not serving interests of engineers. Internal factions. Public presentation is hopeless. Look at current edition of Dimensions magazine. A focus on manufacturing. Cartoon cover. All the stick figures are men. You can count on my support. T

I will definitely vote for u Bob, why wouldn't I? Since you've been so helpful through your website for PPE, but the thing is that I don't know if I am allowed to vote yet, as I'm still waiting for the PPE's result to be announced in Feb 16. AH

My experience is being reviewed as we speak and they tell me that within 12 - 14 weeks I should hear back from them. Hopefully I will get a confirmation prior to the end of the election period. In the meantime, I will forward the website to everyone I know!! Regards. IV

Nice to know that kind of person like Bob is running for the PEO president. Even though, I am not the member to vote but more than happy to recommend for you to vote. My recommendation is 100% for Bob. Thanks. J

I posted your e-mail on our company billboard. We have here more than 25 P.Eng. I wish the best for you. Regards. Ki

I just received your email and want to wish you all the best in your bid to become the next PEO President. Unfortunately I will not be able to vote for you as I am no longer a member of the PEO. All the best. P

I was excited to hear about your candidacy for PEO President and I wish you nothing but the best of luck with the coming election. I have had the pleasure of being an engineering student while you were at McMaster and also participating in your PPE preparation course which was excellent and I recommend it to all of my colleagues who are preparing. I am currently EIT member but I am currently waiting for my full license application to complete the review process and hopefully be granted my full license. Best of luck and you have my support. I hope that our paths will cross again. Best Regards. KW

Best of luck to you Bob! L

I enjoyed working with you as a client of your excellent tutorial service back in 2010...you have my vote! I was just notified of acceptance last week; I just have to pay membership dues now. Cheers. M

Great to hear from you! Unfortunately, I'm not a PEO member (I live in the US now), but am a strong supporter of the Engineering community (particularly mentoring youth in this fine profession). I will forward this my engineering friends north of the border to solicit their support :). I wouldn't be where I am today without you investing YOUR time and energy into MY life. I feel eternally indebted to each of you for that :) Sincerely, MK

I was your student on 2008 and easily passed the PEO exam with your excellent instructions. I will support you and wish you all the best. Best Regards. MK

Vote for Bob! AV

I encourage you to support Bob Loree in the upcoming elections. Please view his site to see how Bob would make PEO better if voted President. I've known Bob for over 10 years - he is an honest, genuine individual who strives for fairness and excellence in all he does. Bob Loree stands behind his principles, would put his goals into action and would definitely make a difference! Please support Bob Loree through your vote for him! Thanks J

I would like to recommend Bob as a candidate for PEO President-elect position. Thanks. M

I vote for Bob Loree, M

Hello Bob, you are the best, I am so happy you will be the PEO next President, I never forget you. IA

Congratulations and wish you success on your new career journey. Kind regards. Nl

It has been several years since we saw each other but I trust you remember me. I'm glad to see you run as president of the PEO. I think you would do a tremendous job, as you did for the Engineering 1 at Mac. I wish you the best of luck in your leadership race. Cheers. O

Great to hear from you and to see you still very active with PEO. I have warm memories of the PEO Challenge with the grade eights at the turn of the century!! Thanks. TP

I am delighted to see you are running for President of the PEO. AK

I have been meeting with many immigrants engineering groups and encouraging them to start their PEO application. However, I have interviewed senior "engineers" for positions at my company and discovered many have not bothered to apply to the PEO. The PEO needs to promote itself a lot harder! I encourage P. Eng.s at my company to support you! Best wishes. K

I am very happy that you are a PEO President election candidate. We will vote for you. Best regards. PP

Sure I'll vote for you. RR

I continue to be amazed at your many accomplishments. I was incredibly fortunate to be your colleague for so many years. You are an inspiration. R

That is fantastic that you are running for President-elect. I did not know that you did so much in the world of engineering. Good luck with the election! RH

I know I got the PPE exam passed with your help. I will definitely vote for you and will convince my friends to do so as well. Thanks, Md

Good luck Bob, I'll vote for you. T

I was your student in 2008 and passed the PEO exam by pursuing your program. I have been a P.Eng since 2009 and would certainly vote for you. TR

Congratulations! I will spread the good news. Ta

Just so you know . . . you have my vote. BT

Just so you know -- Steve voted for you tonight and I'll be mailing it off tomorrow. You got his vote. I'll also call our friend in Huntsville. Good luck. T

We met in Mississauga 4 yrs ago. I passed your note to some friends to hopefully get more votes. Cheers M

You have my vote Bob. P

I just wanted you to know that I'm not an engineer but I KNOW SOME!! I forwarded your email to FD who works at BB with RN and a few other folk. F has assured me they have cast their professional hats in for you. Good luck. M
