For those looking to make a tangible difference in their community, West Allis has set the stage for change. Launching a series of community leadership workshops titled "ENGAGE: Education, Networking, Growth, Action, and Gaining Empowerment", the City of West Allis is extending an invitation to its residents and business owners to step up and take the reins of community improvement into their own hands.
Set to commence on February 6, the six-part workshop promises to not only arm its participants with the critical knowledge and skills needed to effectively lead and engage but also to ultimately weave a tighter, more resilient community fabric. Each session, as detailed on the City of West Allis website, will run from 6 – 8 p.m. at Talia’s Event Venue, offering both group discussions and expert guest speaker insights.
Spots are decidedly limited, with only 20 available on a first-come, first-served basis — a cap aimed to ensure that each participant can receive attention and foster connections. This intimate gathering is expected to foster a close-knit environment where ideas and experiences can be exchanged freely and purposefully.
"Please be sure you can commit to all 6 sessions in this series before registering," the City of West Allis call to action cautions, underscoring its desire to both cultivate and harness real commitment. Truly, the sessions are structured to not just inform but also to actively construct a coalition willing to take initiative in the service of their community.
Thanks to the backing of local entities including Talia’s Event Venue, West Allis Downtown BID, United Way of Greater Milwaukee and Waukesha County, Mediation Resolutions, and Tri City Bank, the series is free for participants — a factor that ensures the doors are open to all spirited residents, regardless of economic standing. "The City of West Allis", proudly stands amongst these sponsors, signaling a dedicated partnership between government and the civic body, as reported by the City of West Allis.
For questions or to secure a seat among the City of West Allis emerging leaders, potential attendees are directed to touch base with Suzanne Singh, Neighborhood Services Specialist, through her email at [email protected]. And for those unable to grasp a spot in this round-up, a waitlist is promised to ensure no interested party goes unnoticed for future opportunities.
