Board of Commissioners Youth Council given blessing by commissioners at Dec. 8 work session
Commissioners gave their blessing and support to the development of a Forsyth County Board of Commissioners’ Youth Council during the work session on Tuesday, Dec. 8. The BOC approved allowing the county staff to support this project in the future.
Vinayak Menon, a sophomore at Lambert High School and youth councilmember worked alongside Tammi Bramblett, executive director of Leadership Forsyth, and District 4 Commissioner Cindy Jones Mills to hatch their plan for the BOC Youth Council.
“Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, getting sponsors and doing it through the schools and trying to overcomplicate it, we decided [to] do something through our youth leadership that already exists,” Mills said.
