Dan Murphy

Executive Director
  • Organization: Union of the Municipalities of New Brunswick
  • Posted: July 6th, 2021

Union of the Municipalities of New Brunswick (UMNB) has announced that Dan Murphy has accepted the position of Executive Director. Murphy takes over from Margot Cragg, who announced her departure earlier this spring.

Murphy has worked in the government and non-profit sectors for more than 10 years. He has served in various senior leadership roles with ministers at the federal and provincial levels, as well as with the New Brunswick Non-Profit Housing Association. Fluently bilingual, Murphy brings a strong knowledge of government as well as issues that directly affect municipalities.

“The Board of Directors is pleased that Dan has agreed to join UMNB as our new Executive Director,” said UMNB President Alex Scholten. “His experience working with stakeholders, building relationships with members, and passion for New Brunswick’s municipalities will serve the UMNB well as we move forward.”

Scholten added that the board would also like to extend thanks to Cragg for her dedication to the association and its members, as well as to Kandise Brown, who served as Interim Executive Director as the board conducted its search for a new ED.

Murphy holds a bachelor’s degree from St. Thomas University, as well as a master’s degree in Political Management from Carleton University. He is ready to put his skills and experience to work for the members of UMNB.

“The UMNB membership is made up of dedicated individuals from all regions of New Brunswick. I am excited to work on their behalf as we navigate issues related to local governance reform and a new strategic plan for the organization,” said Murphy. “I am looking forward to connecting with mayors and councillors over the next few weeks to hear their thoughts and ideas of how UMNB can continue to support their work to create vibrant communities in our beautiful province.”

Executive Director, Union of the Municipalities of New Brunswick (UMNB)

Degrees:MPM/12

Dan Murphy grew up immersed in politics. His father was the mayor of their hometown of Rexton, New Brunswick, population 900. As a teenager, Murphy worked as a page in the New Brunswick Legislature. He then went on to study history and political science at St. Thomas University in Fredericton. After hearing about Carleton’s new political management program, he decided to make the leap to Ontario and join the inaugural class.

Murphy liked the idea of being a trailblazer. He also liked the idea of exploring politics in another part of the country. “I knew how we did things in New Brunswick, but I wondered what the process was like in Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia?” says Murphy. “No one has a monopoly on ideas.”

Murphy also saw the value of being in the national capital. “It’s easy to volunteer for a political party, to get on the Hill, to talk politics and meet people. The network you can build when you’re living in Ottawa is limitless. You can reach out and touch decision-makers.”

The skills Murphy acquired at the program were especially useful after graduation. In 2012 Murphy helped organize the New Brunswick premier’s leadership bid, in 2013 he managed the premier’s byelection campaign, and in 2014 Murphy was the director of candidate support for the New Brunswick Liberal Association during the province’s general election. “Based on what I learned at Carleton, it took me from the minor leagues to the major leagues. It was a step up. I got to learn from the pros.”

For Murphy, the program not only exceeded expectations and gave him a solid foundation for his career, but it’s also given him one more interest to bond over with his father. “It gives both of us a chance to talk shop a lot,” he laughs. “I can’t say I have any future plans to run for mayor, but you never know.”

>
> David Amos Isn't Campaigning For Your Vote, But….
>
> By Gisele McKnight
>
> FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his
> wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone
> that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."
>
> Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos.
>
> The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife
> and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from
> running for office in Canada.
>
> One has only to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and not be in jail
> to meet Elections Canada requirements.
>
> When it came time to launch his political crusade, Amos chose his
> favourite place to do so—Fundy.
>
> Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his
> dissatisfaction with politicians.
>
> "I've become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he
> said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."
>
> The journey that eventually led Amos to politics began in Sussex in
> 1987. He woke up one morning disillusioned with life and decided he
> needed to change his life.
>
> "I lost my faith in mankind," he said. "People go through that
> sometimes in midlife."
>
> So Amos, who'd lived in Sussex since 1973, closed his Four Corners
> motorcycle shop, paid his bills and hit the road with Annie, his 1952
> Panhead motorcycle.
>
> "Annie and I rode around for awhile (three years, to be exact)
> experiencing the milk of human kindness," he said. "This is how you
> renew your faith in mankind – you help anyone you can, you never ask
> for anything, but you take what they offer."
>
> For those three years, they offered food, a place to sleep, odd jobs
> and conversation all over North America.
>
> Since he and Annie stopped wandering, he has married, fathered a son
> and a daughter and become a house-husband – Mr. Mom, as he calls
> himself.
>
> He also describes himself in far more colourful terms—a motorcyclist
> rather than a biker, a "fun-loving, free-thinking, pig-headed
> individual," a "pissed-off Maritimer" rather than an activist, a proud
> Canadian and a "wild colonial boy."
>
> Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his life.
>
> "But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said.
> "It's alright to bitch in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?"
>
> Amos has no intention of actively campaigning.
>
> "I didn't appreciate it when they (politicians) pounded on my door
> interrupting my dinner," he said. "If people are interested, they can
> call me. I'm not going to drive my opinions down their throats."
>
> And he has no campaign budget, nor does he want one.
>
> "I won't take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It's
> not about money. It goes against what I'm fighting about."
>
> What he's fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood,
> the exploitation of the Maritimes' gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to
> name a few.
>
> "The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing,
> farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I'm
> death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it
> (NAFTA) out the window.
>
> NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an
> easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico.
>
> Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote.
>
> "There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me,
> especially young people, to pay attention and exercise their right.
> Don't necessarily vote for me, but vote."
>
> Although…if you're going to vote anyway, Amos would be happy to have

> COALITION CALLS ON LEADERS TO ACT IMMEDIATELY TO STOP OIL AND GAS
> EXPLORATION IN GULF OF ST. LAWRENCE
> For Immediate Release - October 4, 2010
> PICTOU, NS – Today’s decision by the Canada Newfoundland and Labrador
> Offshore Petroleum Board (CNLOPB) to allow seismic blasting in the
> Gulf of St. Lawrence was met with shock and concern by a coalition
> calling for a moratorium on oil and gas development in the Gulf of St.
> Lawrence. The coalition - made of aboriginal, fishing, and
> environmental organizations - is calling on municipal, provincial,
> federal, and aboriginal leaders to act swiftly to halt the testing.
>
> “With this decision, the CNLOPB has approved an activity that could
> damage this entire precious ecosystem,” according to Mary Gorman of
> the Save Our Seas and Shores, “We want this decision reversed
> immediately, and action taken to allow jurisdictions bordering on the
> Gulf to have a say in its future.”
>
> “Seismic testing could start in the next 48 hours, potentially
> damaging marine mammals like blue whales, and disrupting fish and
> fisheries. This approval has given oil and gas as a toehold in the
> Gulf that could lead to full scale drilling,” according to Danielle
> Giroux of the. “Fishermen I work for need more say over protecting the
> Gulf. We want the CNLOPB’s decision reversed immediately.”
>
> “An oil spill in the Gulf of St. Lawrence would impact fish stocks and
> coastal communities in Quebec, PEI, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and
> Newfoundland. Moreover, the national importance of this ecosystem must
> be upheld.”  says Gretchen Fitzgerald, of the Sierra Club Canada. “
> Federal laws to protect endangered species and fish habitat recognize
> the importance of protecting our shared biodiversity and resources.
> This decision is not reflecting this shared responsibility or concerns
> expressed by groups around the Gulf.”
