WELCOME TO THE CAMA MASTERMINDS FORUM
& LEADERSHIP CIRCLE FOR DIRECT REPORTS
CAMA’s Masterminds Forum & Leadership Circle returns this Winter – offering a virtual networking forum that connects you with a small group of trusted colleagues in a safe, confidential space. These sessions provide candid, pragmatic advice on navigating sensitive issues and operational challenges, both current and future. Facilitated by seasoned experts, each session delivers practical insights tailored to the realities of senior municipal leadership.
For 2026, CAMA will host three Masterminds forums for regular members:

- One French session – Open to all CAMA members.
- One English session: The Masterminds Leadership Circle – Exclusive to CAMA member direct reports, this session offers a mentorship and networking opportunity designed specifically for emerging leaders in the municipal management profession.
Each forum will be led by an experienced facilitator and designed to foster open dialogue, peer mentorship, and professional growth.
