Since 1949, the National Civic League has designated 10 communities each year as All-America Cities for their outstanding civic
accomplishments. All-America Cities are collaborative innovators who are willing to put in the hard work to tackle today's most
crucial local issues. To win, each community identifies three local efforts targeting pressing community challenges; together these
projects should demonstrate innovation, impact, inclusiveness, civic engagement, and cross sector collaboration. Arizona cities and
towns embody the All-America City spirit and should consider applying.

Christina Estes-Werther, League General Counsel
The internet can instantly provide information at our fingertips and we have become accustomed to "sharing" posts, photographs,
notes and other links in the realm of social media. So when you find photographs, videos or other depictions on the internet it can
be easy to forget that using someone else's work requires permission by the author. Before you download a photograph from the
internet to use in your PowerPoint presentation or copy a chapter from a book to distribute to others, it's important to know that
using unlicensed materials may lead you into dangerous territory known as copyright infringement.
