Overview

The Governing Arizona Forum for Leaders is part of the Governing Arizona Project. The invitation-only forum held on November 17th brought together leaders from government, business, the community and the news media to focus on bi-partisan steps that can be taken in 2010 and beyond to confront the serious fiscal issues facing the state.

The forum drew upon the expertise of scholars from around the nation and a new comprehensive summary of Arizona spending and revenue over a period of 30 years conducted by The Communications Institute with additional content developed by the Center on Law and Politics at the University of Southern California. The program also draws upon the expertise of scholars from Arizona State University.

More than 20 legislators including Democratic and Republican Leadership attended. Additional educational conferences will be presented in the next 12 months around Arizona.

Watch for more details on the TCI website. With the help of Arizona Town Hall, a consensus statement was created which is available on line.
