Council Builds on Professional Development at 2016 AUMA Convention
LETHBRIDGE – Another Alberta Urban Municipalities Association (AUMA) Convention has come and gone for hundreds of municipal and provincial leaders.
The annual AUMA convention, held in Edmonton at the Shaw Convention Centre this year, brings communities together to discuss new tools in tackling economic, environmental and social matters at the local level.
Mayor Chris Spearman alongside Councillors Blaine Hyggen, Jeff Carlson, Liz Iwaskiw and Bridget Mearns represented Lethbridge for all three days. They noted that it’s always a great opportunity for professional development.
In particular, Mayor Spearman said they learned a lot about different approaches to finance this time.
