Introducing a dedicated RMA webpage with resources to help municipal leaders navigate their roles with confidence.
RMA is pleased to announce the launch of its new Resources for Newly Elected Municipal Officials webpage, designed to support municipal leaders as they begin their terms in office.
Serving as a municipal elected official is both an exciting opportunity and a significant responsibility. To help members navigate this journey, the webpage brings together a wide range of resources developed by RMA, Alberta Municipal Affairs, and partner organizations. These materials are designed to provide practical tools, governance insights, and connections to further information, ensuring that municipal leaders have a strong foundation for success.
Key features of the webpage include:
- Education and training opportunities that help officials build knowledge and confidence in their roles
- Events and networking that provide chances to connect, collaborate, and share experiences with peers
- Governance tools that support effective council‑administration relationships and strengthen decision‑making
- Provincial resources that offer a handbook and related governance information from Alberta Municipal Affairs
- RMA member services that include advocacy resources, risk management, trade services, and professional development opportunities
The new webpage is designed to help municipal officials build confidence in their roles, strengthen governance practices, and foster collaboration with administration and key stakeholders. Whether you are in your first months of service or seeking to deepen your leadership skills, these resources will provide ongoing support throughout your term and beyond.
