Applications are now available for the spring, 2023 session of Half Moon Bay’s annual community engagement program, Half Moon Bay NET (Network – Engage – Transform). The deadline to submit an application is 5 pm, April 27, 2023.

To apply you can:

• Fill out the application below
• Pick up an application at City Hall, 501 Main Street
• Or call us at 650-750-2013

Enrollment is limited to 25 participants, who will be randomly selected from all applicants. The NET program is free.

This four-session community academy provides an overview of the management and governance of Half Moon Bay and its programs, while helping to build relationships that will strengthen our entire community. NET will take place evenings in the month of May from 6 – 9 pm. The dates are as follows: 

• Thursday, May 4
• Thursday, May 18
• Thursday, May 25
•  Wednesday, May 31

Participants are encouraged to commit to attending all four sessions in order to gain the most benefit from the program. If you are not able to commit to all four sessions, please apply for a future NET program that better meets your schedule.

At each session, participants will take part in interesting and fun activities illustrating how the City’s various operations function, meet and talk with City staff and City Council members, and meet other community members who share an interest in being more engaged with the City.

It’s a great opportunity to get an “insider’s” view of the City, become more knowledgeable about how the City works, and help to build and strengthen the communication, bonds, and relationships that make a great community.

The objectives of NET are to involve and engage people in learning about and understanding the operation of City government, and to improve communication between the City and those who live and work here. Participants will learn about how decisions are made, how City funds are allocated, and how City departments operate with each other, and get an opportunity to sit down with City Council members for frank discussions of issues, projects, politics, and plans for shaping the future of our community.
