RMA and ABmunis are partnering to offer educational resources and other learning opportunities to those considering running for elected office in the upcoming municipal election.
The Rural Municipalities of Alberta (RMA) and Alberta Municipalities (ABmunis) are collaborating to provide prospective candidates and Albertans at-large with a comprehensive and authentic introduction to municipal service, highlighting everything from daily responsibilities and the role of municipal elected officials, to how to run for office.
RMA’s Running for Municipal Office webpage offers an overview of the campaign, and includes materials developed by the RMA, ABmunis, and Alberta Municipal Affairs, which provide information for those interested in running for municipal office. The resources include an overview of what it’s like to serve as an elected official, steps to take when running for office, and where to find relevant information to support the candidacy process. As part of the campaign, RMA and ABmunis will be co-hosting a series of webinars open to the public to provide an opportunity to gain insights and ask questions about running for municipal office.
For more information, sign up to receive RMA’s Contact newsletter, and follow along on RMA’s social media channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, and X) for updates as the campaign progresses. If you have any questions or require any clarification regarding the campaign, please reach out to Jared Shaigec, RMA Policy Advisor.
