Knoxville City Manager Heather Ussery tells KNIA/KRLS News that the Knoxville Leadership Academy is coming up in September.  It’s a six week long program that helps prepare people who might have an interest in becoming a future member of  the city council, or a member of a board or commission.

There are only 15 available slots for the Leadership Academy, so people will need to pre-register with the city prior to September 1.

The Leadership Academy will begin September 13.
