Common Council President, Lisa Dawsey Smith, and Whitewater City Manager, John Weidl, invite the community to a Meet and Greet event on Wednesday, April 5th from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at City Hall on the second floor. The April Meet and Greet will also include the Chief of Police, Daniel A. Meyer and Officer Saul Valadez. From 1:00 to 2:00 p.m., Common Council Member and Community Development Authority Vice Chair James Allen will be available.

“Over the next several months and into next year, the Common Council president and I look forward to introducing the community to individual council members and department heads as well as showcasing their unique contributions to our City. At the same time, we hope to provide an opportunity for individuals to get to know more about the City employees, ask questions, and make suggestions,” says John Weidl, Whitewater city manager. “We are also pleased to announce that we will have staff that can speak both Spanish and English for our ELL and MLL community members. All are welcome!”

This event is part of a series of open forums to get to know your leadership. All citizens are welcome and encouraged to attend. This is a great opportunity to introduce yourself, get answers to your questions, or discover ways to get involved in serving your community through a board, committee, or commission.

“The future of our community depends in large part on our commitment to meaningful dialogue. Everyone has a role in building a more vibrant community. We need to build a bridge between the conversations we have around the kitchen table and the conversations amongst our community leaders. This series of open forums enables us to build community dialogue,” says Lisa Dawsey Smith, Common Council president.

The April 5th Meet and Greet event will be held at the Municipal Building, on the 2nd floor, in the Cravath Lakefront Conference Room. Coffee and cookies will be served. First come, first served.
