During this hybrid event, participants will hear presentations on the top potential topics for 2025 (as identified by our Annual Topic Survey). The event and presentations are open to the public and a great program for anyone interested in the hottest issues facing Arizona. After speaker presentations, participants will engage in panel discussions on the three topics presented, have the opportunity to introduce potential topics, and help select the 2025 topic. |
Community Town Halls will also be held before the Statewide Town Hall on the chosen topic. These smaller sessions will tap into communities across the state in order to capture input from Arizona's many diverse perspectives. Reports from the Community Town Hall sessions will be compiled and included with the background materials to further enrich the discussions at the statewide Town Hall.
The topic chosen for 2024 is Civic Leadership and Democracy.
The topics for consideration and their presenters are:
- Water - Sarah Porter, Director, Kyl Center for Water Policy at Arizona State University's Morrison Institute for Public Policy
