The Office of the Clean City met with a delegation from Armenia through the League of Women Voters. The focus of the meeting was to explain how the DC Government addresses trash, pollution and blighted property issues. We explained how we outreach to the community, schools and neighborhood associations in order to educate and inform residents about the importance of recycling and keeping the community clean. Additionally, we explained our role as a government agency. The Office of the Clean City works with city leaders, the EPA and other federal organizations concerning laws and legislation in order to enforce Clean City initiatives.

The Armenian Delegation was delighted and felt well informed by the briefing. They asked questions, took pictures and received literature concerning the Clean City initiative.

The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization, which has fought for ninety years to improve American systems of government and impact public policies through citizen education and advocacy. The League’s Global Democracy Program is for activists and nongovernmental organizations worldwide. The program works with groups abroad to increase their voice in stressing transparency, accountability, and good governance in their societies. Additionally, the League assists in expanding community influence in public policy-making processes while helping citizens build leadership skills through interactive, hands-on training and exchange programs.
