At the Annual Conference of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), Chris White, Mayor of the Township of Guelph-Eramosa, was appointed to the AMO board of directors.
As a member of the board and the rural caucus, White will help set policy for the association and serve as a municipal leader in the province.
“AMO’s board of directors benefits from membership from across the province, reflecting the diversity of Ontario’s municipal governments. To that end, I am pleased to have Chris on the 2010-2012 board team,” said AMO president Norman Sandberg. “The board will continue its efforts to see properly funded municipal governments.”
AMO’s key advocacy priorities are focused on achieving fiscal sustainability for municipal governments, advancing federal, provincial partnerships for infrastructure and strengthening municipal legislative authority to advance local economic prosperity and environmental sustainability.
AMO is a non-profit organization representing almost all of Ontario’s 445 municipal governments. It supports strong and effective municipal government in Ontario and promotes the value of municipal government as a vital and essential component of Ontario and Canada’s political system.
