Citizens in the Know

“Citizens in the Know” is a six-week program designed to educate and help citizens understand the workings of their city government. The program, for Visalia residents 18 years of age and older, allows citizens to meet with key city leaders, ask them questions and get the answers they want to know. Modeled after community leadership programs found in many communities throughout the country, “Citizens In the Know” provides citizens with a first-hand look at the work of Visalia city government—how it is planned, the infrastructure that is used, and the City Council’s vision of the future.

W
hat’s In it For You?

• How these pieces fit together to make the city operate efficiently and effectively and help to make Visalia a great place to live, work and play!

Who is Eligible?
