\nRegistration is now open for the Town of Brownsburg\u2019s Resident Academy, a six-session program designed to help residents gain a greater understanding of the Town’s operations through lecture, discussion, and interactive activities.
\n 
\n\u201cIf you\u2019re a resident who has questions about how decisions are made from department head level up to Town Manager and Town Council, you\u2019ll find this to be a worthwhile program,\u201d said Town Manager Jeffery A. Eder.
\n 
\nThe Academy will be held on Tuesday nights from 6-8 PM from January through March. Participants will tour Town facilities, learn day-to-day responsibilities and operations, get a greater understanding of the budget process, meet Town leadership, and get answers to questions about the operations of the Town of Brownsburg.

Editor’s Note:<\/strong>  I strongly encourage people to sign up for the Resident’s Academy.  I attended with many others a similar class a couple of years ago. All attendee’s commented, the classes are very informative. It provides perspective, stepping away from the political minutia;  greater insight into “how the town works”, classes conducted by people doing the work. Questions and dialog are encouraged.<\/p>\n
