Citizen Engagement Series

The Citizen Engagement Series offers citizens the opportunity to gain insight into how decisions are made at the County level to set the priorities of the community and exchange input and ideas to meet the present and future challenges that we face. The purpose of the Series is to foster an informed and actively-engaged citizenry which is a key component required to strengthen our community.

The Series consists of six bi-monthly interactive sessions | supplemental material
that will provide knowledge of the County’s decision-making process, and the process in which programs and services are delivered to the community.
