CITY OF COLTON They are the future of our communities. CITY MANAGER Accordingly, we are inviting the youth leaders in our cities to participate in this year's Annual Conference, October 2-5, in Long Beach. At the conference we plan several sessions for the young people so they can begin to experience and appreciate the issues with which you, as city officials, must deal. Benefits 0 It's a great opportunity for you to engage the leaders of tomorrow and help them form a favorable impression of local government and their community. It will give them the chance to better understand the tough choices you face and the dilemmas that are a part of public office. It will give them a unique opportunity to enter the world of civic leadership and acquire an appreciation of civic affairs that will stay with them for the rest of their lives. What You Can Do Select and invite several young people of high school age* to attend all or part of the League's Annual Conference. The enclosed guidelines offer suggestions how you might do this for maximum benefit to your city and to the young people who attend. If you've not already arranged for youth to attend, act now to coordinate with schools for youth participation. The Conference will be about a month after most schools start so your may need to act quickly when school opens. 0 Use this opportunity to invite your local civics teachers to join their students at the Conference. It's a great way to help them better understand their local government. OVER . . .
