March 9 Event Will Educate and Encourage Posted on 2/25/2010
Mandan and Morton County residents invited to learn about a run for local government offices
The Leadership, Pride & Image Committee (LPI), of the team implementing the Mandan Tomorrow strategic plan, is conducting a candidate prep course. Intended to provide information about elected, public-service positions and to encourage candidacy, the Candidate Information Forum will occur from 7-8:30 p.m., Tuesday, March 9 at the Mandan Community Center.
"Mandan is a city known for its community support," said LPI Committee Chairwoman Laurie Leingang. "The Candidate Information Forum is just one way that we can support individuals interested in running for public office."
Forum attendees will have the opportunity to hear about the various positions, determine if a public-service stint is something they should pursue and learn about the requirements to file for candidacy. Presenters include current elected officials. Anyone interested in running for a position on the Mandan Public School Board, Mandan Park Board, Mandan City Commission or Morton County Commission should attend.
The forum is free and sign-up is not required. If you have any questions, please contact Laurie Leingang at 400-8631 or leingangl@bis.midco.net. The LPI committee is charged, among other things, with fostering citizen interest in serving in local government offices.
