The 2018 Fall Citizens Academy Graduation Event was held at the Citrus County Courthouse in Inverness on Thursday, December 13, 2018. Facilitator Doug Wright congratulated the participants and thanked them for spending time learning more about local government.

Graduates recognized for their participation were Bea Wright, Cathy Uranni, Mary Laurence, June Randall, Candi Arnesen, Cathy Schafer, Anne Amann and Patricia Clayton.

The Citrus County Citizens’ Academy is an interactive program that focuses on educating citizens about the County’s governmental operations. Elected officials, Constitutional Officers, Department Directors and county staff host unique and informative sessions designed to give a hands-on inside look into county government operations.

Participants learn about our local government, the community in which we live, and at the end of the twelve sessions, have made new friends, and most of all gained knowledge to be great ambassadors within our community.
