San Bernardino County is excited to invite the public to participate in the nationwide City Hall Selfie Day on Aug. 15, 2024.

City Hall Selfie Day, organized by Engaging Local Government Leaders (ELGL), seeks to promote civic engagement and foster a greater connection between local government and its citizens. Since 2016, local government employees, elected officials, members of the media and community members have participated in the event, which celebrates cities, counties, towns and special districts. This is a great opportunity to show your appreciation for local government and to showcase community pride.

“I am pleased to join millions across the nation in celebrating City Hall Selfie Day,” said San Bernardino County Chief Executive Officer Luther Snoke. “It’s important to recognize the vital work that our county employees do from ensuring public safety and maintaining county roads to promoting economic development and providing library services. Thank you for your professionalism and tireless efforts on behalf of our communities.”

As a part of City Hall Selfie Day, ELGL awards recognition and prizes to community members and organizations showing the most pride and creativity in several categories including Best Community Engagement for City Hall Selfie Day, Funniest City Hall Selfie, Best-Dressed City Hall Selfie and more.
