A Value packed Programme!
The Programme begins at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday evening and continues for the next two days and evenings, wrapping up at noon on Friday, allowing for maximum learning while minimizing your time away from both work and significant others.
Dozens of senior staff have taken this Programme since its original offering in 2008. Participants have become, or enhanced their roles as, CAOs since that time. Classes are kept small for your benefit.

CAO/Sr Manager 4 Day Programme Leaders:
Fred Dean and Nigel Bellchamber have delivered hundreds of highly acclaimed training programmes and workshops in all parts of Ontario since 2002, from Kenora to Cornwall, from Windsorto Kirkland Lake.
They have also developed a Two Day Programme for the same audience, which is quite adaptable to local needs and local delivery.
In addition, a unique One Day Programme has been presented across the Province for municipal Administrative Support Professionals, those people who “have the backs” of Mayors and Senior Staff, and who are often the first point of contact with the public.
Amberley Gavel Educational Sessions
Nigel and Fred formed Amberley Gavel Ltd. in 2008 to undertake Closed Meeting Investigations. The firm has also served as Integrity Commissioner and Municipal Ombudsman. Since October 2022 they have conducted over 30 orientation sessions for newly elected Councils across Ontario. Having delivered educational sessions at every municipal Conference in Ontario, they continue to be invited to do so.
