Are you Dallas a resident? Are you interested in having your voice heard by your City Council? The new City Council Engagement Initiative is for interested individuals who want to stay informed and active with decision-making in Dallas. MCBA’s own CEO Louis Darrouzet will be attending when possible. The group will be meeting at Starbucks near City Hall every Wednesday morning before each Council meeting to discuss issues of relevance to the MCBA mission, and participants are encouraged to speak on issues they are passionate about in front of Council.

If you’re interested and would like additional information, Ashford’s Andrew Gardella is serving as coordinator, he looks forward to hearing from you at [email protected].
