Alberta Municipal Affairs, in partnership with the Local Government Administration Association and the Alberta Rural Municipal Administrators’ Association, will be continuing the annual Regional Training Sessions for 2018. This year is a return to years past in that each session is made up of eight workshops focusing on items identified by your membership. As always the sessions are open to all municipal administrators and staff with participation free of charge.
To ensure ample opportunity for your attendance, sessions will be held in six locations for 2018. Each day will run from 8:45 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., with registration opening at 8:15 a.m.
Again this year, you have opportunity to participate in selecting the topics to be included on the afternoon’s agenda. The afternoon’s agenda will be based on registrants’ feedback to a brief survey providing a choice of which sessions attendees would find most useful. The four topics receiving the most votes via the survey will be the four topics presented at each session, allowing for the afternoon to be tailored to the individual needs of each region. While registration will remain open, the survey to select the afternoon’s agenda will close May 2nd to allow presenters sufficient time to prepare their session materials.
The morning agenda and a list of topics available for the afternoon are included on the registration website. Please click on the link below and complete the registration information for the session of your choice. (Please note: we ask that each individual staff member attending a session complete a separate registration.)

Please note that detailed agendas for each day will be available on the registration site two weeks prior to the first session and will be forwarded to all registrants along with the session materials. Session materials will only be provided in electronic format and, in addition to being included in an email to registrants, will be available for download both at and following the sessions.
Please note it is important that each individual attending sign up for the Regional Training Sessions as organizers require accurate numbers for hosting and logistics. We encourage CAOs to send those staff members they feel would benefit most but would advise that they register early as these sessions will likely fill up quickly.
Should you have any questions, please contact Faye, Angela or LaRae from Municipal Affairs directly.
