First Youth Member Added to CGI Advisory Panel
In an effort to better serve youth commissioners and to offer new opportunities for youth leadership development, The Institute for Local Government’s Collaborative Governance Initiative is adding a youth member to our advisory committee.
Rebecca Shimizu is a high school student and president of the City of Elk Grove Youth Commission.
We look forward to adding a youth perspective to our planning process as we develop new strategies to support successful youth commissions that make a difference in California’s cities and counties.
