UBCM President Jen Ford recently visited Cambodia on a knowledge-sharing trip with Cambodia’s National League of Councils. The visit is the latest initiative by UBCM through a Federation of Canadian Municipalities program aimed at supporting women in local leadership. The objectives of the program are to increase the readiness of women to get involved and lead in local governance, along with the capacity of local governments to deliver inclusive, gender-responsive services.  The Pique News Magazine interviewed Ford on her return.
