About the NMC

Who We Are

Over the years, the NMC has evolved into an active national community of managers connected by regional and departmental networks across Canada. The community has become the voice for managers by:

• Promoting needs and interests of managers to decision makers;
• Enabling managers to connect and learn at events;
• Engaging and facilitating dialogue and the sharing of best practices;
• Fostering communities of practice – managers learning from managers.

Our membership is broad and includes managers who manage people and/or money, and public servants who aspire to be managers. See Figure 1.

We are a national network; our programs are delivered by Regional Coordinators across the country, a Secretariat in Ottawa, a volunteer Governing Council and local managers. We are supported by Departments, Central Agencies, Regional Federal Councils, an ADM Advisory Board, and our DM Champion.

NMC Governance Structure

The Community also works closely with other public service networks and organizations, such as the Youth Network, the Human Resources Community, the Canada School of Public Service, the Association of Professional Executives and Central Agencies.

Working together, we give managers a strong voice, and inspire them to be effective leaders in the Public Service.
