Education and professional development are key to the AMA mandate. One of the Association's strategic goals is to provide professional development and educational opportunities to members. To do this the Association:

• completes training and development needs analysis every two years
• provides high quality annual conference and workshops for members
• explores alternate methods of delivering educational opportunities
• ensures opportunities are made to all members to participate in the Certification program

This summer the AMA has undertaken a skills development analysis aligning municipal job functions with various courses from the National Advanced Certificate in Local Government Administration (NACLAA) program. Many people do not realize that municipal government employees may take individual courses without enrolling in the entire program. It is the intent of the AMA to build on this project and to make other recommendations with regard to education, training and development specific to certain job functions. >>Skills Development
