Applications for the city’s 2021 leadership academy “Inside Dublin” are now open with the program starting Oct. 2.
Formerly known as “Dublin 101,” the leadership academy has operated for the past 15 years, providing residents with a more in-depth understanding of the city’s departments and affairs. Previous attendees of the program have taken their involvement with the community a step further in becoming city commissioners and councilmembers.
This year, Inside Dublin, led by assistant city manager Colleen Tribby, includes presentations on education, infrastructure, public safety, local government and community development.
With a goal of encouraging citizens and participants to become involved in the community, the program offers attendees the opportunity to learn more about the city’s present and future issues.
The city has partnered with many local agencies, including Dublin San Ramon Services District, Dublin Unified School District, Office of Emergency Services, Alameda County Sheriff’s Office and Alameda County Fire Department, in order to bring the program to life.
The leadership academy is limited to accepting the first 25 qualified applicants. Qualified applicants are those who are 18 years and older, and live and work in Dublin.
The program is free for all participants and is funded through the annual City Council-approved budget.
Lasting seven weeks long, the program starts on Oct. 2, with classes from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in various locations, every Thursday of each following week.
Applications are found at dublin.ca.gov/insidedublin and close at 5 p.m. on Sept. 1.
