Mark your calendars for August 6! And please share this invitation with your friends and neighbors!
The Virginia Beach Council of Civic Organizations has partnered with the City of Virginia Beach to host this year’s annual legislative input meeting. This is a great step forward in our efforts to increase public participation in local government. Please come out to show your support for VBCCO and to share your ideas and concerns with members of City Council. This meeting promises to be both educations and worthwhile.
What: Community Legislative Town Meeting
When: 7 PM, Wednesday, August 6th
Where: Virginia Beach Convention Center
The City of Virginia Beach and the Virginia Beach Council of Civic Organizations will be co-hosting a town-hall style discussion to give citizens an opportunity to provide valuable input into the City’s 2008 Legislative Agenda – goals which the City will submit to members of the local General Assembly delegation later in the year.
City Council members and General Assembly members will be invited to answer questions and hear your comments. This meeting will be an opportunity for neighborhoods, civic leaders, and citizens to share goals and ideas for state legislation that can have a positive impact on our city.
Remember, because of the Dillon Rule, many local ordinances require General Assembly approval. So this meeting will impact more areas of local life than you may realize.
For meeting details, and examples of the City’s Legislative Agendas from recent years, please visit VBCCO.org.
