Town Government Academy is a free, 10-week program, that the Town of Fishers offers residents to learn more about their local government. When residents enroll, they get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of local government happenings and a hands-on experience with various departments in town. Participants are encouraged to register by March 3 to secure a spot, as space is limited.
The initial meeting takes place from 6 to 8 p.m., March 4 at Fishers Town Hall. While following meetings may take place at town hall, several evenings include off-site visits to the town’s Public Works garage and various town parks. Academy participants hear from town staff, tour town facilities, and engage in the collaborative town governing process. Highlights of TGA include tours of the police and fire departments, the wastewater treatment plant, and the public works garage. At the end of this course, participants graduate the academy with a greater understanding of how Fishers government operates.
The Town Government Academy provides individuals a unique opportunity to explore Fishers from a different perspective. Upon completion of the Town Government Academy, individuals are encouraged to join the Town Government Academy Graduate Association, to further explore local government and collaborative partnerships.
