The City of Elgin 101 is a Citizens Academy used by the City to teach residents about day-to-day functions and roles of local government. The purpose of the City of Elgin 101 is to educate residents about operations, cultivate future leaders, and showcase talents of City staff. The program is a great prerequisite for serving on a City board or commission.

The City of Elgin 101 consisted of eight informational sessions on Monday evenings from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM, beginning January 23, through March 2023. Presentations were featured by multiple representatives from City departments. Twenty residents participated. Last month was the end of the eight-week program. The graduation ceremony for participants was held at tonight’s City Council meeting. Well done!

Hey y'all let's wish our classmate Amber de la Rosa a very happy birthday today! 🎂 Enjoy your day!
