2017 Class Schedule
This year's sessions will start on August 30, 2017 and continue every Wednesday through October 18, 2017. Sessions begin at 5:30 p.m. and conclude promptly at 8:00 p.m. Each week class members will interact with key staff and members of the Town’s leadership. A variety of learning tools including speakers, discussion, presentations, interactive exercises, and site visits will be used to create a dynamic learning environment. This is not a “death by power point” style program. Class members should expect to actively participate, question, and contribute while they learn about the challenges and opportunities facing our community.
