Following a call for applications, the LGMA is pleased to announce that Danielle Myles Wilson, CAO of the Cowichan Valley Regional District, was selected by the LGMA Board of Directors as the successful candidate for the 2026/2027 Overseas Exchange Program.

This LGMA membership benefit provides exchange partners with the opportunity to share best practices, establish long-lasting relationships, and gain professional, personal, and cultural experience that can be applied at their own local governments and as they move through their careers.

Danielle will visit Aotearoa New Zealand in September 2026 to attend the Taituarā Annual Conference (September 9 - 11 in Ngāmotu, New Plymouth) and visit local governments. In return, Danielle will host her exchange partner for two weeks in 2027.
