Mike Roberts 

I joined CSAE to broaden my understanding and gain more knowledge for my role as the CEO of the BC Municipal Safety Association. Being part of CSAE allows me to engage with leading experts and access valuable resources that enhance my leadership and organizational skills. Through CSAE, I gain exposure to cutting-edge methodologies, expand my network, and develop skills that are crucial for my career. Ultimately, my involvement in CSAE empowers me to make a meaningful difference and deepen my expertise in leading a non-profit organization. I am currently the Chair of the CEOs and Executive Directors Advisory Group. Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn.
