On Tuesday, January 28th, we, as the Cornelius Youth Advisory Council (YAC), had the incredible opportunity to attend the League of Cities Conference at the State Capitol. Not only did we connect with other youth councils, but we also took center stage to engage in meaningful conversations with state representatives and senators. Accompanied by Mayor Dalin, City Manager Peter Brandom, and Communications & Community Engagement Manager Itzel Sayago, we lobbied for the importance of creating a community center for the youth of Cornelius. It was a day of powerful advocacy and stepping up for the future of our community! 🌟
