Those
who serve in Hernando County Government are dedicated to providing the
best possible service to our citizens. A part of the mission of County
Government is to communicate with our citizens and keep them informed
about programs, services and projects which effect them and their families,
friends and neighbors.
Local organizations
of any kind are encouraged to consider inviting a County Government
representative to come and speak to their group and share information
about things that are happening in Hernando County.
Here is
a list that contains some names of suggested speakers. The list is certainly
not all-inclusive, so if you have a particular topic in mind that you
would enjoy learning more about, but you do not see it on the list,
just call Brenda Frazier, Community Relations Coordinator, at (352)
540-6780, to see if we can coordinate a presentation for your group.
