Residents can get involved by committing to get counted in the US census, vote, join an advisory committee or neighborhood board, learn about important local issues and City policies or volunteer with a community organization. The City will hold its annual Community Connections Conference in 2020 conference with the theme of "We count," representing that all communities are welcome and valued.
