The Lubbock Civic and Public Leadership Academy
If you or a family member has ever considered running for office or even just joining a board or commission, then this crash course might be right for you.
The Lubbock Chamber of Commerce is hosting a Civic and Public Leadership Academy on Tuesday August 29th from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at First United Bank located at 4th and Frankford.
The workshop will be non-partisan in nature and provide a nuts-and-bolts overview of what Lubbock County residents need to know to run for office or how to participate in campaigns for issue-based ballot measures.
Facilitators and guest speakers will include Mike Stevens, co-owner of Action Printing; Kim Davis, owner of Nomiss Communications, City Secretary Becky Garza and many more.
The cost of the workshop is $35. Chamber members will receive a discounted price of $25.
The event is open to any civically-minded citizen of Lubbock County, but registration is required as space is limited.
