Several council members, including the mayor, took their oath of office at the Providence Village Town Council meeting on Tuesday evening.
Before she was sworn in for her third term as mayor, Linda Inman, who ran unopposed, read a statement about what the commitment means to her.
“Leadership isn’t about surrounding yourself only with people who agree with you,” Inman said. “It’s about listening to everyone, even the voices that challenge you, disagree with you and see things differently than you. As we prepare to take our oath tonight, I want each of us to remember that it’s our responsibility to not govern for one group, one neighborhood or one perspective. It’s to serve all of our residents, and that requires patience, humility and the willingness to truly listen.”
