Description


Join the WAVE Young Professionals Network at Baxter City Hall on October 23 from 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM, for WAVE YPN: Understanding Local Government.

Ever wonder what your city does for you—or how you can make an impact? Join us for a non-political, educational seminar at Baxter City Hall designed for young professionals and community members alike.

This event will give you a behind-the-scenes look at how local government works and how different departments contribute to building a strong, thriving community. Learn directly from the people who make it happen!

Attendees will have the opportunity to move through interactive stations and discover how each department supports your community. A meal catered by Chipotle will be provided for all attendees.

Better understand your local government with WAVE's October event!

This event is FREE for WAVE Members. Guests are $25.
