No one knows what’s best for a particular community than the people residing in it. This is why everyone must be involved in community engagement now more than ever. Corinna Bellizzi sits down with her niece Arianna Bellizzi, who has immersed herself into the Anchorage community and recently completed her certification in project management. She discusses how to take part in the efforts of your community councils to address major issues your local area is currently facing. Arianna also explains how redistricting works and the vital role of community engagement in pushing the representative government to do its work.
