Meritorious Achievement Award
Shawna Argue, P.Eng., MBA, FEC, FCSSE, FGC (Hon.)
(L to R): The Honourable Russ Mirasty, Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan, presenting Shawna Argue, P.Eng., MBA, FEC, FCSSE, FGC (Hon.) the prestigious Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan Meritorious Achievement Award.
ACEC-SK honoured Shawna Argue, P.Eng., MBA, FEC, FCSSE, FGC (Hon.) as the 2019 recipient of the prestigious Lieutenant Governor Meritorious Achievement Award at their annual Awards of Distinction Nov. 26, 2019 in Saskatoon.
Argue completed a Bachelor of Applied Science in Industrial Systems Engineering at the University of Regina, and later completed a Master of Business Administration at Athabasca University.
She started her career at a manufacturing facility in Yorkton and then returned to Regina to join a consulting company.
She initially worked in electrical and industrial engineering on a variety of projects, but a new opportunity arose in environmental auditing.
When she started her own business, Argue and Associates Management Consultants, hers was the only company that offered these services in Saskatchewan. Therefore, Argue truly is a pioneer in this field. Her unique expertise was sought after worldwide.
She performed her work internationally, including with teams in both Western and Eastern Europe during the days shortly after the Berlin Wall fell. Investors were interested in Eastern European companies and sought Argue’s auditing service to gauge risks.
She has also provided consulting services to such organizations as large Saskatchewan mining companies.
Argue has given many hours in support of APEGS including serving as President from 2010 to 2011. She was also a very active volunteer with the Association of Consulting Engineering Companies Saskatchewan, serving as a board member and the inaugural Chair of the Risk Committee.
In addition to volunteering in the industry, Argue has contributed to numerous community endeavours. For 10 years she participated in the CIBC Run for the Cure, she was on the Regina Off-Leash Dog Park Committee, was President of the Assiniboia Club and President of the Regina and Business Professional Women’s Club, to name a few.
Ms. Argue has received numerous honours and awards including:
• The YWCA Women of Distinction Award in Science and Technology;
• The Engineering Excellence Award and the Volunteer Service Award from the Regina Engineering Society;
• She is an Honorary Fellow of Geoscientists Canada;
• She is a Fellow of the Canadian Society of Senior Engineers; and
• She is a Fellow of Engineers Canada.
