Executive Summary:

Background:
On August 6, 2018 Council Member Waddell presented this item to her fellow Council
Members, stating there was a movement to employ the “Community Voices” model
throughout the City of Fayetteville.
Community Voices is a leadership development program that trains participants to
identify and resolve community issues. The opportunity is targeted to people not
traditionally active in public decision making processes and who may have experienced
social and economic and educational limitations. Discussion ensued. Consensus of
Council was to move this item forward.
