Conroy to Host Civics and Coffee Discussion in Villa Park

VILLA PARK, Ill. – State Rep. Deb Conroy, D-Villa Park, will host a “Civics and Coffee” community discussion about the legislative process on Saturday, May 12 from 10:30 am to noon at the Funky Java located at 40 S. Villa Ave. in Villa Park.

“It is exciting to see so many people in our district eager to participate in the civic process,” said Conroy. “These conversations are a means to foster civic engagement and help citizens realize that their active participation in our government can lead to meaningful change in their communities.”

“Civics and Coffee” provides an opportunity for more open dialogue between concerned citizens and their local officials. Conroy believes that residents should be provided ample opportunity to reach out to legislators with their questions and concerns. It is also an opportunity to learn about new legislation and issues being tackled at the state level.

“As an elected official, it’s important to me that I’m getting out to the community and meeting with my constituents to discuss the issues most important to them,” said Conroy. “I hope that my work will continue to foster the energy I am seeing around the civic process and help everyone be a part of the change they want to see in their communities.”
