Leadership Chilton asks county commissioners to host 'Local Government Day' for leadership program
Summary
Leadership Chilton requested county participation in a new Local Government Day (proposed Jan. 8, 2026) to introduce program participants to county and municipal operations; the group asked for time and engagement rather than funding.
Leadership Chilton asked the commission to participate in a new Local Government Day, part of the organization's leadership-development program that brings community leaders together from across Chilton County.
Tony Burnett, a Leadership Chilton board member and 2024 graduate, described the program and said Local Government Day (proposed for Jan. 8, 2026) would include meetings with commissioners, department head presentations and facility tours. Burnett said the group was not seeking financial support but rather "just a relational support — your time, your openness, your willingness to engage with the class on this day." He provided a calendar and a draft agenda and asked the commission to name a liaison; commissioners suggested working through staff members Sylvia and Makeisha.
Commissioners expressed support and said department heads could participate. No formal vote was taken; staff were directed to coordinate calendars and a liaison to integrate Local Government Day into the commission's schedule.
