Pre-election Campaign – Ready? Set! Run for Council!
Municipal elections are approaching, and our members—municipal administrators—are often asked to provide more information about the roles and responsibilities of a municipal council. This helps interested individuals make an informed decision before committing to an election campaign and a four-year term. Here is a guide that will answer many of your questions.
​
A webinar in English will also take place on Thursday, March 26 at 6:30 p.m. Join us to receive a summary of the guide, along with key information and best practices to help you start your campaign with confidence and have a positive experience serving in your local government.

AMANB's Education Committee
The competence of local governments in New Brunswick depends on the development of their human resources. The AMANB Education Committee plays a key role in meeting the training and professional development needs of its members.
AMANB's Certification Committee
Each year, the Board appoints the Certification Committee, made up of the Chair of the Education Committee, the immediate past President or Vice-President, a retired member, and a person from the academic sector. The Executive Director acts as Registrar. The Committee reviews applications for professional certification and makes recommendations to the Board for approval.
