Neighborhood Council Civic University 1.0 Is Returning in January 2017!

The Neighborhood Council Civic University is a collaboration between the Office of Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, the Pat Brown Institute for Public Affairs at Cal State Los Angeles, the Board of Neighborhood Commissioners and EmpowerLA. The Civic University arose from a shared belief among us that there are immense gap in public knowledge and understanding of how Los Angeles city government works, and that as a result, people in many communities feel that they cannot effectively influence their own government. The first Neighborhood Council Civic University 1.0 had nearly 200 board members participate, and it received rave reviews. This is an amazing course on how the City works and where Neighborhood Councils fit in LA government.

Neighborhood Council Presidents/Chairs should designate two board members (one woman and one man) from your Neighborhood Council to attend. Please have the designee register here by Friday, December 16, 2016. We highly encourage new board members to attend.

To receive a certificate of completion from Cal State Los Angeles, attendance is mandatory for all three sessions. The dates are January 17, 24, and 31, 2017 from 6 pm – 9 pm at the Ron Deaton Auditorium at 100 Main Street in Downtown LA.

Please contact Tom Soong of the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment at [email protected] or (213) 978-1551 if you have any questions.
