Description:

AMO and OMAA are hosting a conversation on a key ingredient to a successful, effective and high-performing municipality- the relationship between a Mayor and CAO. This critical partnership sets the tone for your organization and can be a key factor in retention and attraction of employees as well as community relationships. In today’s climate, setting the tone and nature of the Mayor-CAO relationship is a win-win approach.

Join us in discussion as we explore the key elements of a productive Mayor-CAO relationship.

We have assembled an expert panel to explore:

✅ Defining Roles & Responsibilities – Avoiding overreach and conflict by respecting professional boundaries. How have things changed since Strong Mayor powers have been brought in?
✅ Building Trust Through Communication – How regular, honest, and transparent dialogue aligns priorities and strengthens collaboration.
✅ Maintaining Professionalism & Neutrality – Why the CAO’s non-partisan approach and the Mayor’s support of professional administration matter.
✅ Fostering Innovation & Proactive Governance – Encouraging creative solutions for better municipal outcomes.

Join AMO, OMAA and your municipal colleagues to gain valuable insights, hear real-world examples, and enhance the leadership dynamic in your municipality.
