RMA Convention Breakout Session – Proposal Form

Breakout sessions are a highlight of RMA conventions, as they present an important opportunity for members to learn about and discuss key issues. RMA aims to deliver sessions that support the effective operation of municipalities and speak to the roles and responsibilities of local leaders.

RMA is currently seeking breakout session proposals. While priority will be given to proposals from full RMA members, submissions from non-members will also be considered if the content is relevant to the municipal context.

Proposals for the fall 2025 convention will be accepted until August 6, 2025. Proposals are welcome on an ongoing basis and will be considered by RMA for upcoming conventions.
