Task Forces

The Task Force process is an important foundation to AMO’s consensus building.  Task Forces leverage the technical, practical and political expertise of members to bring considered, informed, and representative policy positions forward to the AMO Board for consideration on priority issues.

Task Force membership typically includes:

• a Chair and Vice-Chair appointed for a two year term, one of whom is on the AMO Board
• a mix of elected officials and municipal staff with depth and breadth of knowledge and experience
• appropriate representation across municipal type/size/geography
• representatives from relevant municipal organizations and occasionally non-municipal partners

The structure, Terms of Reference and membership of Task Forces is comprehensively reviewed every four years in line with provincial and municipal election cycles. 

Currently, AMO has five Task Forces for the 2023-2027 period:
