A Guide to Hiring Your Chief Administrative Officer
 
Many municipalities are facing, or soon will be facing the prospect of replacing their retiring Chief Administrative Officer (CAO). Manitoba Municipal Government has developed A Guide to Hiring Your Chief Administrative Officer for municipalities as a resource to assist in the planning and implementation of an effective CAO recruitment strategy.
 
The CAO of every municipality plays an important and key role, and for this reason, municipalities want to ensure that when they recruit, they hire the best person possible. The Guide will help municipalities to find that one right person for the job.
 
The Guide will also be a very useful tool to those municipalities not yet recruiting for a CAO as it offers practical advice and critical tips for municipalities in the process of developing, reviewing or updating their existing CAO position description.
