Last week, the Leadership Lowndes Class of 2026 got an inside look at community action during Local Government Day!

From conversations with elected officials and department leaders to behind-the-scenes tours of Public Works, the Traffic Control Center and 911 Center, the class learned more about the people, departments and services that keep our community moving each day.

Thank you to all of our local leaders who shared their time and expertise, and to our sponsors for making the day possible!
