Mayor
Hicks-Hudson Launches Engage Toledo Ambassador Academy
Mayor Hicks-Hudson last week announced the creation of an
exciting new initiative to inspire civic engagement and
participation called the Engage Toledo Ambassador
Academy. Participants will interact with city leaders who
will provide “behind-the-scenes” perspectives on how Toledo
is enhancing service delivery systems for residents and
businesses through technology and best management
practices.
The announcement was made at the Sanger Branch Library as
part of Customer Service Week. “Toledo is
nationally-recognized as a Citizen-Engaged Community, and
for good reason,” said Mayor Hicks-Hudson in opening
remarks, “Since its start in October of 2015, citizens have
used the Engage Toledo system more than 75,000 times. The
Engage Toledo Ambassador Academy will take this citizen
engagement to a new level.”
An inaugural class of approximately 25 citizens will be
selected to attend this free course on Wednesday evenings
from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at various locations throughout the
city, starting October 18 and culminating in a graduation
ceremony on December 13.
Participants must be Toledo residents at least 18 years of
age. Applications are being accepted through October 16 on
a first-come, first-served basis, with some exceptions
possible to ensure broad representation across the city.
More information and applications are available online at
www.toledo.oh.gov/engage-toledo
and at the DPU Customer Walk-In Center at 420 Madison
Avenue.
