As part of RMA and ABmunis’ joint educational campaign, the associations are offering 20 live webinars to provide prospective candidates with the opportunity to learn more about running for municipal office.
In anticipation of this fall’s municipal elections, RMA and Alberta Municipalities (ABmunis) are hosting an educational webinar series as part of the Running for Municipal Office Campaign. The webinar series will run from April to September and offer one-hour live, interactive sessions tailored to numerous audience types, including small, mid-sized, large, and rural municipalities.
The webinars aim to:
- Build strong, effective councils across Alberta
- Equip potential candidates with a clear understanding of municipal roles
- Ensure new councillors are better prepared for their responsibilities
- Strengthen the relationship between councils and administration
- Help potential candidates make more informed decisions about running for office
In the webinar sessions, guest council members will be in attendance to communicate their lived experiences and perspectives and share with participants what they wish they had known before running for municipal council. Participants will also have the opportunity to ask the guest council members questions.
Please visit RMA’s Running for Municipal Office webpage to register for a webinar session, as well as to access informational materials and other resources to learn more about running for municipal office.
