The next academy will be in 2012.
The City of Newnan holds an annual Newnan Citizen Academy in the fall. The academy is a series of classes for citizens to educate and inform the citizens of Newnan about every aspect of city government in Newnan. The course will be an intensive, hands-on program on how city departments operate and how critical decisions are made that affect the quality of life in Newnan. Participants are given the opportunity to tour city facilities and hear directly from department managers, professional staff, and elected officials. Gina Snider, the city of Newnan’s Public Information Officer will be the amabassador for the Academy. The class will run through Sept 12- October 25 and be every Tuesday night from 6-8 pm.
The Citizens' Academy was started in the Fall of 2004 and has proven to be so successful that we are starting our eighth session. Over 150 people have graduated from the Academy, and many have gone on to serve on various boards and commissions.
