The City of Erlanger is now accepting applications for its first Municipal Government Academy Session. The seven-week series of workshops include guest speakers, off-site tours of facilities, participant interaction and discussion regarding City services and operations.
The academy is designed to encourage residents to participate in a hands-on learning experience. Participants become thoroughly knowledgeable about City operations, businesses, community partner agencies and school district. The class will learn how these groups work together in collaboration for the betterment of the City. Participants have a unique opportunity to give feedback directly to city leadership and have a voice in shaping the future direction of the community.
Limited to only 20 participants, the academy is specially designed to help transform residents into the role of actively engaged citizens with goals of developing an ongoing, positive relationship and two-way constructive dialogue between City Leadership and attendees ultimately building a stronger, more cohesive community.
The first Municipal Government Academy will begin on Thursday, February 26, 2015 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. and will meet every Thursday through April 9. Dinner will be provided during each session by Erlanger dining establishments. In order to yield the most from the academy, please apply only if you are certain that you will be able to attend all sessions. In the interest of fostering diverse perspectives and enhancing the participants’ experience, candidates will be selected to achieve a balanced class.
