Leadership in Public Service Event Recap
Are you an elected or appointed official?
Please list any current elected position in public office or service appointments made by a government official on the local, state or national level. Examples of the latter include service on community advisory boards, city councils, school boards, special task forces, county commissions, etc.
Adding your name to this list is more than just a way to celebrate and support your public service; you provide role models for your community and your example encourage others to step up and serve. This list will receive special invites to events focused on public service and help KLC find ways to best support these roles.
