The Dedicated Senior Team Award “recognizes an outstanding municipal team that demonstrates service excellence and dedication to municipal government” through a combination of the following: leadership, policy development, Council relations, human resources management, financial management, long-term strategic planning, project planning and implementation, community relations, professional development, and integrity. The award is co-sponsored by AUMA and the Society of Local Government Managers (SLGM).
“During our Council term, significant changes to the Senior Leadership Team has resulted in us collectively “upping-our-game”. Our Administration has delivered in spades over the last year. This award signifies the organization moving to the next level and in so, moving the community forward,” says Mayor Barry Turner. “Significant accomplishments have included the opening of the Morinville Leisure Centre as well as the approval of the Transportation Master Plan and the Debt Management Policy, to name a few.
