In accordance with AMO By-law No. 1, nominations are now open for the 2026-2028 AMO Board of Directors.

Better decisions are made when the voices of diverse genders and identities, ethnicities, races, sexual orientations, ages, and abilities are heard and represented. AMO encourages candidates from across Ontario who reflect the diversity of residents to seek election to the AMO Board of Directors.
