OMAA offers two three-day Workshops each year--one in the spring and one in the fall. We also offer one-day Aspiring CAO Sessions, CAO Connections, and Webinars to keep members connected and informed throughout the year. Networking and professional development are key planks of our strategic plan and we are committed to continuous improvement to continue to meet our members' needs in these areas.

OMAA brings together CAOs and aspiring CAOs for conversation, connection, and learning in smaller group settings across Ontario.
These events range from small group discussions on current issues, specific training on a key skill, to webinars on the latest tools, technologies, and issues facing the municipal sector. Check our calendar for the latest offerings.
Workshops
We host two workshops per year--one in the spring and one in the fall. These events provide all of the networking, exhibits, and professional development of a conference along with the discussion, problem-solving and hands-on development of policies of a workshop.
OMAA workshops include a mix of social events, keynote speakers, educational sessions, quick hits, and sponsored sessions--all aimed at giving CAOs and Aspiring CAOs the tools they need to be more effective. Registration options include the full package, Thursday Only, and Live Stream for those unavailable to attend in person.
