YOUR PARTICIPATION IS IMPORTANT

All residents have a stake in their community’s future.

Resident involvement and leadership are keys to creating strong and stable communities.

Successful communities will be those with residents who can identify the community’s needs,
shape programs to meet those needs, and influence positive outcomes. With the right tools, residents will be the leaders who watch over their communities for years to come, and help identify and
train the next generation of leaders.

We welcome you to join in the effort,
“Strengthening Otoe County for Tomorrow.”
