(MOBILE, AL)-- An event in Mobile is hoping to create a dialogue between the community and local leaders. Speed Date Your Elected Officials is meant to give citizens the chance to talk with their leaders in a casual environment.
“We think it’s important to provide every opportunity to provide face-to face direct communication between our business leaders and our community members and our elected officials to help improve communication,” said Kellie Hope, the vice president of community and governmental affairs with the Mobile Area Chamber of Commerce.
Representatives from law enforcement, education, and city council to Mobile’s state delegation will be in attendance.
The event is happening Aug. 20 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Byrne Hall on the campus of Spring Hill College. It is a free event, but residents have to RSVP in advance.
