 COMPLETE NOMINATION FORM


We thank you in advance for your interest and nomination. Please note that only eligible applicants will be contacted regarding the success of their nomination and next steps.
 

Zone Executives

As a way to further support our members and provide opportunities to connect, we have divided the province into nine (9) Zones, based on county, regional and district boundaries. AMCTO Zones play an essential role in professional growth, information sharing, and networking. By participating in your Zone activities and contributing your ideas, you have the opportunity to learn from your fellow members, broaden your professional circle, and have a lasting impact on the Association and your community.

The activity of the Zones, which includes both a spring and fall meeting, are directed by a dedicated group of Zone Executive members. Without the volunteer efforts of the Zone Executives in each area, the important role Zones play in shaping Association programs and initiatives cannot happen. Each year, Zones look for members to fill various positions on their Executive including Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, and Directors-at-Large.

For a minimal time commitment, serving on your Executive allows you to support your community and fellow members, and help other local government professionals with their professional development while building your own skills at the same time. Whether you are a long-time AMCTO member or new to the Association, we ask that you strongly consider joining your local Zone Executive.

To find out about available Executive positions with your Zone, we encourage you to visit your Zone webpage. Under each Zone, you will find a list of current Zone Executives, including email addresses. Contact the Zone Chair (or any other Zone Executive member you might know) to learn about what position might be right for you!
