Mayor Douglas Nicholls invites residents to Community Conversations with the Mayor, a series of informal dialogues held across various neighborhoods in January through April 2023.

Community Conversations will serve as a platform for local residents of all ages and backgrounds to ask questions, voice concerns, engage in dialogue, or simply participate by listening. These meetings will rotate to different locations and take place following traditional working hours in an effort to maximize accessibility.

“At the beginning of my 3rd term I want to continue to  be an effective voice for the people of Yuma. In order to be that voice, I want to provide an easy venue for that engagement to supplement emails,  calls and council meetings for that communication,” Mayor Nicholls said.

Each event in the series is scheduled for 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on a Thursday. Locations are as follows:

• Feb. 16: Mesa Heights Community Resource Center, 2150 S. Arizona Ave.
• March 16: Kofa High School Ernest F. Rillos Gymnasium, 3100 S. Avenue A.
• March 23: Arizona at Work, 3826 W. 16th St.
• April 27: Yuma Readiness and Community Center, 6550 E. 24th St.

Comment cards will be available at the neighborhood meetings for residents who would prefer to ask a question or leave a comment anonymously.
