Departing Words

Welcome to Municipal Affairs.
Change is a constant in municipal governance, and with it comes the opportunity to reflect, adapt, and grow.
Today, we’re marking the end of an era and the start of a new chapter for Alberta Municipalities. After two decades of dedicated service, Alberta Municipalities Chief Executive Officer Dan Rude is preparing to step down at the end of 2024. His leadership has been a cornerstone of Alberta Municipalities' evolution, from his start as Chief Financial Officer in 2004 to his tenure as CEO beginning in 2018.
In todays episode, we sit down with Dan to look back on the milestones, challenges, and transformations that have shaped Alberta Municipalities under his guidance. We’ll explore the strategic shifts he championed, the policies that have had lasting impacts, and the lessons he’s learned through it all.
We’ll also turn our focus to the future: the challenges awaiting Alberta Municipalities in 2025 and beyond, the changing dynamics of municipal governance, and how Alberta’s
communities—big and small—can thrive in an increasingly complex landscape.
What were the key moments that defined Dan’s leadership? How has Alberta Municipalities evolved to better serve its communities? And what wisdom will he pass on to the next generation of leaders as he prepares to hand over the reins?
All this and more, coming up on Municipal Affairs.
