Dan Murphy
- 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.”

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.”

> What he's fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood,

> "The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing,

> 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.”

> Bennett was assisting Cape Bretoners opposing a coal-fired power plant
> at Point Aconi in Nova Scotia when he first caught the attention
> Elizabeth May, then Sierra Club Canada’s executive-director. May liked
> his approach – among other things, he’d brought his wife and two
> daughters to a potluck supper meeting and assured the group he was
> there to hear from them, not issue orders. Several years – and, after
> an interview on a train ride from Toronto to Ottawa -- later, she
> hired him as the Club’s director of atmosphere and energy.
>
> He managed environmental education campaigns; was the Club’s main
> spokesperson on air, energy, automotive and climate change issues;
> prepared fundraising proposals; and wrote position papers and research
> articles.
>
> During this period, Bennett also headed the Climate Action Network, an
> association of up to 100 environmental, health, labour and faith
> organizations from 10 provinces and two territories. There, he was
> also the chief spokesperson, wrote releases and papers, and acted as
> liaison with government officials, ministers, MPs, their staffs and
> industry leaders. He did similar work with a successor organization,
> ClimateforChange.ca.
>
> It was then that he was involved in preparing reporters for the
> federal Conservative government’s climate plan. “I figured we had to
> talk to the media. We had to meet the government head-on, and say what
> they were doing was going backward. We were very effective.”
>
> The work “succeeded to the extent that when Stéphane Dion became
> Liberal leader, the party thought the climate and environment were
> where they should campaign. They were right; they just did it very
> badly.”
>
> A spirit of collaboration
>
> Most recently, Bennett was communications director for the Green Party
> of Canada, including the 2008 campaign in which the Greens, led by
> May, won nearly a million votes and was the only party to increase its
> total.
>
> “It’s a well-rounded background, ranging from activist events to
> negotiating in the halls of power,” Bennett says. “My knowledge covers
> the spectrum of issues across the country.”
>
> Bennett’s experience has demonstrated the importance of collaborating
> with other groups and including as many people as possible, and their
> ideas, in whatever work must be done. That was especially obvious in
> the creation of the Green Budget Coalition, which analyzed federal
> budgets in terms of their impact on environmental concerns.
