Last week the Manitoba Municipal Administrators held their conference and elected a new Vice President after their previous VP was elected as President.
Dauphin's own Nicole Chychota who is currently the Chief Administrative Officer for the R.M. of Dauphin was named the Vice President of the MMA after she was the only person nominated for the position.
Nicole said the honour of being named is incredible
You know it means a lot. As far back as we can find I‘m the first Vice President from the Parkland area to be on MMA so it’s quite the honour. It really gives me the opportunity to make connections with other levels of government. We work very closely with AMM and we have regular meetings with the Municipal Relations Department for the Province of Manitoba.
Nicole said that she looks forward to the role and working for the Parkland area.
It is a great opportunity to speak out on things that are happening specifically here as well in addition to the rest of the province. It’s nice to have that opportunity to bring our rural issues to the forefront.
She said the support she has received from everyone in the community and at work has been incredible.
I just want to thank everybody for all the support they’ve given me in this role. This is really about the people we get to work with. My staff are incredible and my council has been incredibly supportive and we couldn’t do it without all of you. I really look forward to representing Dauphin on a bigger platform.
