Event Description

Get ready for an inside look at leadership at the upper-tier level. AMO and OMAA are teaming up for a dynamic conversation exploring how County and Regional CAOs work with their Wardens and Regional Chairs to guide complex two-tier systems. This session dives into the unique governance dynamics of upper-tier municipalities—where political insight and administrative expertise intersect. Through a moderated discussion, two CAO–Warden pairs will share firsthand perspectives on building effective relationships, aligning regional priorities, and strengthening collaboration across tiers. The discussion will also consider how these relationships evolve in the context of potential legislative changes and the approach to an election year, including maintaining strong governance practices, supporting council through transition periods, and ensuring continuity of leadership. 

Panelists:

  • Warden Marcus Ryan and CAO Ben Addley of Oxford County 
  • Warden Bonnie Clark and CAO Sheridan Graham and of Peterborough County  

Moderator:

  • Scott Vokey, Executive Director of the Ontario municipal Administrators Association
