OTTAWA, Aug. 20
– Brock Carlton has been selected as the new Chief
Executive Officer of the Federation of Canadian
Municipalities (FCM).
Mr. Carlton has been with FCM for 16 years, most
recently as Director of the International Centre for
Municipal Development (ICMD).
In making the announcement to FCM staff, President
Gord Steeves said that selecting from among some 40
highly qualified candidates was difficult, but the
selection committee was united in the choice of Mr.
Carlton.
“My colleagues and I are confident that Brock
Carlton has the skills to lead the organization and
the rapport with staff needed to make FCM the
people-focused organization we want it to be,” said
Steeves. “Certainly we know staff are behind him –
when we made the announcement they gave him a
standing ovation.”
Steeves also thanked COO Jean-François Trépanier for
his leadership during the transition as Acting CEO,
as well as FCM management and staff for their
contributions.
“FCM is one of Canada’s most effective organizations
at translating grassroots concerns and priorities
into national policy and action,” said Carlton.
“I’ve seen this in my work with international
development and I look forward to making us even
more effective on the national stage.”
