The City Manager’s Office in Kennesaw is now accepting applications for the upcoming session of Kennesaw 101: Citizens’ Leadership Academy. This program offers residents a behind-the-scenes look at how the city operates, providing an inside view of municipal departments and decision-making processes. In a statement obtained by the official city website, this multi-week program is scheduled to run from Sept. 11 through Nov. 17, enlightening participants with direct insights from department heads and hands-on tours of city facilities, sparking engagement every Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m.
According to the program's website, Kennesaw is offering a free leadership course for adults 18 and older who live in the city or work within its limits. The initiative aims to build a more informed and engaged community by encouraging participants to take an active role in Kennesaw’s future. The program will conclude with a graduation ceremony before the Mayor and City Council on November 17. Registration is free but limited to the first 15 applicants, with the deadline to apply set for August 1.
