Avondale Accepting Applications For Spring 2012 Citizen Leadership Academy

Register now for the Avondale Citizen Leadership Academy, which kicks off on March 8! This ten-week course offers a comprehensive, behind-the-scenes perspective of Avondale city government, with interactive and informative workshops on topics ranging how the city runs to future development and building strong neighborhoods. Participants will take a “quality of life” tour of city parks and facilities, and get a close up view of police and fire vehicles and apparatus during the public safety workshops.

Classes will be held on Thursday evenings from 6 to 8:30 p.m., with two exciting Saturday field trips. Enrollment is free, and is open to Avondale residents 18 years and older. Those who complete the course will be recognized at a special ceremony in May.

Space is limited to the first 20 participants. Citizen Leadership Academy brochures and registration forms are available on the city’s website at www.avondale.org/Citizenacademy . For more information or to register, please call the Community Relations Department at (623) 333-1600.
