Description
Take a deep dive with us into local government. Whether you want to be our next mayor, fill a spot on the school board, or maybe serve on PCBC's Government Relations Committee, being a part of your local government is an exciting way to shape your community.
Join us to learn more about public service - the good, the bad, and perhaps, the ugly. Whether your knowledge is limited, or you've been a campaign manager and have a thorough understanding of the process, you'll leave with new insights and shared experiences. Small group discussions will make this a hands-on workshop allowing you to ask questions in a safe setting and learn more.
