AMO Board Vacancies Filled

Further to last month’s call for nominations, the Board made the following appointments to fill the eight vacancies among four of the six AMO caucuses. No vacancies occurred in the Northern Caucus or the Small Urban Caucus. Thirty municipal elected officials put their names forward for consideration and the Board was very pleased with this level of interest and was impressed with all the candidates.

In making its decision, the Board reflected upon the geographic distribution, among other matters. AMO’s work is informed through the broadest representation possible. The 2014-2016 Board is listed below. The highlighted names are those appointed to fill the vacancies. The next Board of Directors' elections will be August 2016.
