Administrative & Municipal Staff Discussion Group

The PGO Administrator Discussion Group is a recurring virtual session designed specifically for individuals supporting Police Service Boards in an administrative or governance coordination role.

These sessions focus on the practical realities of supporting effective board governance. They provide a space to explore how administrative functions connect to governance responsibilities, and how to move beyond task-based support toward enabling strong, consistent governance practices.

This is a discussion-based forum grounded in real work. Participants are encouraged to bring questions, share experiences, and explore approaches that strengthen the structure, clarity, and effectiveness of their boards.

The session recognizes that the administrator role varies widely across Ontario, and aims to support greater consistency, confidence, and understanding in how the role contributes to governance outcomes.
