APEGS Connections & Involvement Committee Chair Didn't Let Me Talk to the Committee

I complained to the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan (APEGS) in December 2018 about its funding of the Saskatoon Engineering Society.  APEGS said it would provide my complaint to its Connections & Involvement Committee (C&I Committee), which is responsible for providing grants to constituent societies like the Saskatoon Engineering Society.  Since January 8, 2019, I have repeatedly asked to directly speak to the APEGS Connections & Involvement Committee and this committee has had several meetings since then, but the  chair of the committee, Jaylyn Obrigewitsch, didn't let me speak to the committee.  This is totally outrageous.  Christian supremacy and Christian religious discrimination and bigotry by a constituent society of APEGS should have been the top priority of the APEGS Connections & Involvement Committee.  The chair of the APEGS Connections & Involvement Committee, Jaylyn Obrigewitsch, should have let me speak to the committee at its next meeting following my request.  The fact that the chair of the APEGS Connections & Involvement Committee didn't let me speak to the committee over eight months after I first requested this shows that they don't take the problem of Christian supremacy and Christian religious discrimination and bigotry seriously enough.  A new chair of the APEGS Connections & Involvement Committee was appointed in September 2019.  However, this matter has now been assigned to the APEGS governing board and executive committee.
