Civil Engagement: What is is and why is it important?

March 14, 2017 By Sarah Wisdom

Civic Engagement: what is it and why is it important?

What is civic engagement? How can you engage and empower people in your communities? On Saturday, March 18th, Mesa City Councilmember Ryan Winkle presents “Civic Engagement: what is it & why is it important?” at 1:00 p.m. at the Main Library. Explore the idea that civic participation is not just important, but imperative for a community to be successful. Learn and reflect on how being an “engaged” citizen can play a meaningful role in discussions, decision-making and the implementation of projects and programs that take place within our schools, city councils, neighborhoods, polling places, and more.

The Main Library is located at 2951 S 21st Drive. For more information, call (928) 782-1871.

FRANK TALKS are free, thought-provoking, expert-facilitated discussions on important issues facing our communities produced in partnership with Arizona Humanities and the Arizona State Library, Archives & Public Records. For more information call 602-257-0335 Ext 26 or visit:
