City Celebrates Beavercreek Citizens Academy Graduation

Beavercreek City Council, along with city staff and academy participants, recently celebrated the graduation of the city's second annual Citizens Academy!

Over seven weeks, graduates participated in weekly two-hour classes designed to provide an insider's view of the city's programs and services. This program offered residents and business owners in the City of Beavercreek the chance to deepen their understanding of various city departments and divisions, including finance, engineering, public service, parks, planning and development, communications, police, fire, and more. Each session featured presentations and interactive activities such as facility tours and equipment demonstrations.

"The city's Citizens Academy has been a great way to connect our community with the inner workings of local government," said City Manager Pete Landrum "Through these sessions, our residents and business owners have gained valuable insights into the city's operations. We are excited about their enthusiasm for learning and look forward to hosting another Citizens Academy next year."

"It is vital for Beavercreek City Council to encourage an engaged and informed community," said Mayor Don Adams. "This academy plays a vital role in achieving that goal and strengthens the relationships between city council, staff, and residents."

The city plans to host another Citizens Academy in the fall of 2025. Details on registration will be shared through the city's website, quarterly newsletter, monthly digital newsletter, and social media channels. Click here for updates.
