Empower yourself to effect change! Workshop - Power Through Participation

Throughout the area as well as here in Phoenixville, many issues and developments approved by municipalities have changed the lifestyle as well as the quality of life for residents.

If you have ever experienced exasperation, frustration, or even anger over proposed plans for your neighborhood, I urge you to channel those energies into this workshop which will enable you to understand the process while connecting effectively with municipal officials.

If you want to change your world, participate!

Power Through Participation

“What Everyone Needs To Know”

A FREE 4-part workshop designed to equip you as a citizen with the tools you need to be more informed about how to influence municipal decisions that affect where you live.

Have you ever found yourself thinking:

Can’t they save that beautiful farm?

Why are they putting all those houses next to me?

Who makes the final decision?

How can they possibly consider adding more cars on our roads?

Who is going to pay for all the extra services the township has to provide?

What can I do?

If so, then you can get all the answers to these questions, and more, by attending these four workshops. You will also get a better understanding of how to be most effective in having your voice heard.
