Lilburn is accepting applications for Civic Leadership Matters, a new training/mentoring program led by Mayor Johnny Crist. The class is geared toward citizens sincerely interested in learning, growing and serving in some capacity in the city.

The 6-month course will challenge participants to understand the political landscape specific to municipal governance in the 10-county region. Each participant will leave with an individualized pathway of growth. Lilburn residents will receive priority seating. Applications due Jan. 12.
