BEVERLY HILLS—On Friday, July 11, the city of Beverly Hills announced that Team Beverly Hills is currently accepting applications. Applications will be accepted through Friday, August 15.
Team Beverly Hills was formed in 1996 and gives residents a hands-on look at the operations of local government. The program features a variety of class sessions and includes interactive experiences with many departments. Program participants explore the behind-the-scenes operations of the city including Public Works, Emergency Management, Information Technology, Community Services and Public Safety. More than 800 residents have completed Team Beverly Hills and over 70 percent of all current elected officials and City Commissioners are Team BH alumni.
The Team Beverly Hills program will select 50 residents (30 appointed by the Beverly Hills City Council, 18 selected by a random lottery, and 2 selected by the Beverly Hills Unified School District) for its upcoming class.
Five representatives from the City’s business community (appointed by the City Council) will be selected for the program, which kicks off later this year.
