Posted on: Jun 13th, 2016 | News and Announcements

If you would like to know how county government works and meet the decision-makers, then the Mobile County Commission invites you to attend the 2016 class of the Mobile County Citizens Academy starting in September. Participants will meet all the top decision-makers in the county, including elected officials and top administrators. They will learn about the lines of authority and who is accountable for what. They will get a look at the all budgeted dollars and weigh in on how to spend them. There will be special extra-curricular options that include passes to the county regional parks and a jail tour. Participants will meet eight times over a two-month period. Most programs will be held on Thursday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m., with light refreshments. The classes will take place at various venues, as dictated by the subject matter for the evening. The program is open to all Mobile County residents 21 years of age or older, including those living in municipalities within the county. Interested persons may apply by downloading an application below or picking one up at Government Plaza, 205 Government St., South Tower 10th floor.
