Montgomery Citizens’ Leadership Academy
The City of Montgomery celebrated the thirteenth year of the Montgomery Citizens’ Leadership Academy (MCLA). The academy continued to be a popular activity for some of our most engaged citizens. These residents and local business professionals became highly engaged citizens over ten weeks by diving deep into issues of local importance and gaining first-hand knowledge of the inner workings of local government and each of our partners: Sycamore Community Schools, Bethesda North Hospital, Twin Lakes Senior Living Community, and Ohio National Financial Services.
Video Production
The City of Montgomery contracted with RESLV, a full-service video agency that produces content for websites, social media, and public relations, to assist City staff with message development and engagement. RESLV attended City events such as the Independence Day Reverse Parade and Halloween Haunt Drive Through.
With the help of about 35 young residents, the City and RESLV produced a five-minute video to educate the public on the safe use of roundabouts. Our young partners rode their power wheel vehicles around the roundabout model located at Summit Park, demonstrating the rules of driving a roundabout safely.
