How does citizen participation and volunteerism benefit the Town of Cary?
The Town staff and elected officials experience: • Satisfaction as we expand and enhance the services we offer to do things we could never do on our own; • The privilege of interacting with our citizens; • A better understanding of our citizens’ perspectives; • An opportunity to learn from our citizens and to ensure our policies and practices are the best they can be for our community as a whole; and • An opportunity to ensure our government is truly a “government of the people, by the people, for the people” as was stated by Abraham Lincoln in the Gettysberg Address.
