The Alberta Urban Municipalities Association was founded in 1905 and represents Alberta’s 284 urban municipalities including cities, towns, villages, summer villages, and specialized municipalities, as well as Associate and Affiliate members.
AUMA is a dynamic and evolving association which represents and advocates the interests of all members to both the provincial and federal governments as well as other provincial and federal organizations.
Our goal is to develop a strong partnership between all three levels of government through a shared vision with long term planning that would facilitate social and economic growth, a strategic and stable funding matrix for capital projects, vital emergency and social services as well as implementation and coordination in the delivery of these services to ensure the sustainability of the Alberta Advantage.
For coordination and integration purposes, there are two committees that are common to both AUMA and AMSC:
- Executive Committee – accountable to the members for overall consistency and coherence of long range and implementation strategy, and coordination of resource allocation and information flow across decision making bodies to ensure advocacy and member services activities are aligned and mutually supportive. Also accountable for reviewing all plans and implementation activities of decision making bodies to ensure continuing attention to the need to build and sustain municipal capacity.
- Audit Committee – accountable to members for the overall probity and integrity of financial systems and practices across both advocacy and customer service activities.
