The registration form for the next Government 101 went live today at 10 a.m.
Government 101 launched earlier this year as a way to give people a chance to meet the City of Albany leaders and learn about how the City Government and Departments operate.
To give participants a more one-on-one experience with the Government 101 presenters, the class is limited to 20 participants per course.
During the individual classes, participants will get to hear from City leaders on how their department operates and get to ask questions.
Participants will also get to share a meal with the presenters and any other City staff that attends each class and get to know them on a more personal level.
This time, the course has been extended from six weeks to eight weeks.
Students are only allowed to miss two classes before they are removed from the course.
Interested participants are encouraged to verify they will be available for at least six, if not all eight courses before registering.
The planner for the next eight-week course is attached below.
Those who would like to participate can sign up by filling out the registration form at https://forms.albanyga.gov/Forms/gov101. Space is limited and participants are accepted on a first come, first served basis.
