BOZEMAN — MSU Wonderlust will host a forum on understanding local governments and community initiatives on Friday, April 12. “The Role of Active Citizenship in Thriving Communities” is a free event open to the public and will be held at noon in the Bozeman Public Library.

City, county and community leaders who attend this forum will examine these questions:

Forum guest speakers include Gallatin County Administrator Jim Doar, former Bozeman Mayor Carson Taylor, project manager for the Trust for Public Land Maddy Pope and Human Resources Development Council President Heather Grenier.

This Friday Forum is presented in collaboration with the League of Women Voters and sponsored by MSU Wonderlust and the Bozeman Public Library Foundation.
