LGAA Overview

About Us

Since 1959, the Local Government Administration Association of Alberta has supported excellence in municipal government administration by providing training, leadership development, and professional networking opportunities to facilitate the exchange of ideas between municipal administrative leaders.

Our growing membership consists of over 240 municipal administrative professionals who work in diverse roles in both small and large urban and rural municipal organizations across Alberta. In addition to building professional capacity within the municipal sector, we act as a liaison to the Government of Alberta providing technical input on provincial legislation, programs, and other matters that impact Alberta's municipal governments. 

We are committed to offering educational opportunities, innovative ideas, and supports for municipal administrative leaders to grow and succeed in their professional career.
