The 2020 program begins on Tuesday, September 15, from 6:00 - 7:30pm and continues every Tuesday evening for 10 weeks. To protect the health and safety of all participants, this year's program will be strictly virtual. During the program, participants attend weekly webinars designed to provide them with a thorough understanding of government operations, the wide scope of City services/programs available to residents and the variety of ways to access City news and information. The goal of the academy is to engage residents and ensure they are well informed when it comes to the inner workings of the City so that as neighborhood leaders, they can share this knowledge with their respective neighborhoods. Additionally, participants will have opportunities to ask questions and share ideas with City staff and best practices with one another during the course of the program.

The 2020 course agenda includes a focus on the following topics:

Public Safety and Emergency Management

City Services

Community Engagement

Economic Vitality and Development

Enhancements in Transportation

Citizen Feedback, Neighborhood Best Practices and Staying Connected
