RMA, along with AUMA and IAMA, is recruiting six to ten municipalities to work together to build their asset management capacity
RMA, in collaboration with the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association (AUMA) and Infrastructure Asset Management Alberta (IAMA) have received funding under the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) Municipal Asset Management Program (MAMP) to develop and deliver a group learning cohort in which participants will work together to build their asset management capacity.
All municipalities are welcome to apply for participation in the cohort. Participants will be selected in part based on their current level of asset management practice and their willingness to commit to participation in the cohort for the duration of the project.
The cohort will provide participants an opportunity to learn about the basics of asset management, how to implement asset management processes into municipal operations and decision-making, and develop, at minimum, an asset management policy, strategy and internal asset management team.
There is no fee to participate in the cohort, although participating municipalities will be responsible for related travel costs.
The cohort is expected to begin in late January or early February of 2019. Expressions of interest will be accepted until December 21, 2018. For more information, view the Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEOI) document. To apply, complete the application form (Microsoft Word format) and submit to Ryan Osterburg, AUMA Policy Analyst, at rosterburg@auma.ca.
Any questions about the cohort and the application process can be directed to Ryan Osterburg or Wyatt Skovron, RMA Policy Analyst, at wyatt@RMAlberta.com or by phone at 780-955-4096.
This initiative is delivered through the Municipal Asset Management Program, which is delivered by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and funded by the Government of Canada.
