other voices: why serving on an abc matters

1/30/2019

The CBICC's ABC Essentials initiative aims to encourage service on authorities, boards and commissions. Local municipal leaders and those who work in local government offer a little insight into why doing so matters.

Ferguson Township Manager David Pribulka said participating on an ABC is a great way to contribute to the betterment of your community in a meaningful and rewarding way.

"Local government is where the rubber hits the road, and good decisions cannot be made without the thoughtful input from dedicated volunteers on each of these committees. As individuals learn more about these opportunities through the CBICC's ABC Essentials initiative, I ask that they pay close attention to those that ignite curiosity and passion -- it is those areas that one's service will be most valued, regardless of one's current level of experience or knowledge of the subject."

State College Borough Communications Specialist Douglas Shontz agrees.

"Every volunteer that is selected to serve on the Borough's more than 20 ABCs is an important factor in the Borough accomplishing its mission to enhance the quality of life by fostering a safe, vibrant, diverse and sustainable community."

The CBICC encourages county residents to attend one or all of the upcoming ABC Essentials programs to learn more and discover their passion for serving their community.
