Committees

CNAM relies on the active participation of members to build and further the mission of our organization.

Members who are interested in developing their leadership skills are encouraged to get actively involved by running for office on the CNAM Board of Directors and/or participating on CNAM committees.

CNAM Board of Directors

Each year, the Canadian Network of Asset Managers seeks enthusiastic candidates to stand for election to the CNAM Board of Directors. All member categories (except students) are eligible to run for office.

If you are committed to playing a leadership role in the community of practice for municipal infrastructure asset management, possess strong strategic management skills and are passionate about building CNAM as an association, please consider a nomination. The deadline for nominations is in February each year – watch your inbox for specific dates.

To serve on the CNAM Board of Directors, the following prerequisites and competencies are required:

  • CNAM Member in good standing (any member category except student)
  • Demonstrated leadership in the practice of asset management
  • Previous board experience, or other related strategic management experience
  • Support of your employer (financial support would be an asset to attend two annual face-to-face board meetings, but is not required)

CNAM Committees

In addition to the Board, CNAM’s work is advanced through several committees, each focused on key priorities and areas of expertise. These committees provide a platform for members to share their knowledge, collaborate on initiatives, and contribute to CNAM’s mission.

Membership Committee
The membership committee is responsible for recommending measures to increase value to CNAM members, improve administrative efficiencies and increase revenue for the organization. The Committee is responsible for New Professionals, Fall Summit, Partnerships and Networking.
Conference Planning Committee
Provides leading-edge professional development to members through CNAM’s annual Conference. The committee organizes host city and venue selection, programming, trade show/exhibits, sponsorship, marketing, volunteers and budgeting. The Committee is also responsible for Awards & Recognition (Tereo Awards).
NEW - Knowledge Hub Committee
Develops and offers education, alone or in partnership with other organizations, to enhance the capacity of infrastructure asset managers to use knowledge and tools in their functions. The committee engages in and supports research activities that will fill knowledge gaps identified by CNAM membership.
Sponsorship Committee
The Sponsorship Committee plays a crucial role in fostering partnerships that support our mission to empower our members to advance infrastructure asset management. The committee works to identify, engage, and collaborate with key stakeholders, including industry leaders, corporations, and organizations, to secure sponsorships that enhance the quality and reach of our programs and events.
