Leadership in Action: Our Ranchers Visit Camp Verde City Hall
Last Wednesday was an exciting day of learning, leadership, and community connection for our Rainbow Acres Ranchers!
As part of our Leadership Class, our Ranchers visited Camp Verde City Hall for an enriching two-hour session about how local government serves our community. Paul introduced the Ranchers and shared more about Rainbow Acres’ educational programs before the group heard from the City Manager and leaders from Community Development and Planning, Parks and Recreation, and Water.
Our Ranchers learned about public services, community programs and events, and how local government decisions help shape the community we call home.
A highlight of the visit was gathering in the Town Council Chambers, where our own Robin Godwin, a Camp Verde Council Member, explained how Council meetings work and how the public can participate in the decision-making process.
Our Ranchers were engaged, curious, and full of thoughtful questions throughout the session! The presenters welcomed their participation and encouraged their interest in becoming more involved in their community. Robin also praised the Ranchers for their enthusiasm and their ability to learn about complex topics and leadership strategies.
We couldn’t be prouder of their willingness to ask questions, participate, and grow as leaders.
And this is only the beginning! Future Leadership Class visits are being planned to explore the next levels of government, including the Yavapai County Board of Supervisors and, eventually, the Arizona State Capitol in Phoenix.
Experiences like this give our Ranchers meaningful opportunities to build knowledge, confidence, leadership skills, and stronger connections to the community around them.
We are incredibly proud of our Ranchers and grateful to the Town of Camp Verde for welcoming our group and making this such a meaningful learning experience!
