2026 CAMA EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
ON-LINE REGISTRATION LINK
The CAMA Board is pleased to announce the Executive Leadership Program which is specifically designed for Chief Administrative Officers and senior managers working in local government in Canada to provide a professional development and networking opportunity for CAMA members across the country to collaborate and learn from experienced CAOs and their peers.
The best leaders are the ones who keep growing, have long-term resilience, and who rise to the occasion every day to build vibrant communities that improve people's lives. In today's ever-changing world, effective leadership matters. Whether you're looking to improve your core leadership skills or need insights and tools to implement and manage change in your organization, this program is designed to address key needs and discuss specific local government topics and trends. After four days of professional development, you will return to your organization re-energized and ready to inspire growth at all levels.
There will be educational sessions on site with exercises and case studies on each topic with CAMA's Toolkits also being used as resources. On the last day, you will make a short presentation on your own personal leadership plan.
The Program will focus on the following seven key areas that our members have determined to be essential in local government leadership and management:
- Leadership
- Strategic Planning
- Human Resources Management
- Governance
- Political Acumen
- Incivility
- Resilience
The 2026 Program can be found here.
