The Commission for Women of Bossier City welcomed its mentees to City Hall this week for a full day of learning focused on public safety agencies and city government operations.

Participants received a comprehensive tour of all departments and were formally introduced during the Bossier City Council meeting. Throughout the day, the young women heard from several leaders in city government and public safety, including Chief Administrative Officer Amanda Nottingham, Metropolitan Planning Commission Director Carlotta Askew Brown, City Marshal Chief Shelly Anderson, and female police officers and firefighters.

Speakers encouraged the mentees to work hard, stay engaged, and pursue opportunities that strengthen their future leadership potential. City officials said they value the annual visit and look forward to welcoming the group each year as part of ongoing efforts to inspire civic involvement among young women in the community.
