Title
Presentation of 2018 Citizen's Leadership Academy Graduation Certificates.
Body
The first Citizens Leadership Academy was held in 2011, in response to a suggestion from LS 360. This year marks the 7th academy. Last year, an academy was not held due to the City's Sesquicentennial celebration. Participants in the 2018 Academy will be presented to the Mayor and Council.
The 2018 Citizens Leadership Academy has been completed. We began with 10 participants and 8 were able to attend a majority of sessions. The final session, held on Saturday, April 21st, included a mock city council meeting for the City of Mockington. Participants held the positions of Mayor and Councilmembers. They were provided with a packet and real Staff members helped them prepare.
Once again, City Staff willing and enthusiastically participated in this program. I truly appreciate the assistance they provided and this Academy would not have been a success without them.
The graduating participants will be provided with a certificate of participation and include: Larry Anderson, Jamie Conover, Joshua Cresswell, Erik Crew, Carla Dial, Clyde Hicks, Cheryl Nash and Monte Stull.
