This year’s League golf event will take place at Topgolf Glendale, the premier entertainment destination in Glendale, AZ. Topgolf is a game that anyone can play and enjoy, even if you’re getting more hole-in-nones than hole-in-ones!

The League attendees will have the full top floor with indoor food and beverage and climate-controlled hitting bays for comfort.

Each bay has up to six golfers per bay and each bay will compete for prizes.

Building The Arizona We Want:

Arizonans across the vast expanse of our state—in our cities, towns, and rural communities— overwhelmingly agree on priorities and actions to drive the state forward, providing the basis for a shared vision of success for The Arizona We Want.

Join the Center for the Future of Arizona for an informative and interactive program where you will:

• Hear brand new data and insights about what Arizonans believe is important for the future and what they want elected leaders to address.
• Discover how Arizona leaders and communities are successfully using survey data to inform policy, practice, and investments to ensure action that supports what Arizonans want.
• Learn how to use new tools to inform ongoing, data-driven action to support your community’s goals.

Each city and town is urged to participate in the development of the League's Municipal Policy Statement. Mayor Nicholls of Yuma will serve as chairman of this year's Resolutions Committee.

All AMRRP members are encouraged to attend the annual meeting.

The League welcomes all conference delegates and guests to the opening reception.

Important note:

This dinner is open to all government (city/town, county, state and association) conference attendees and is included as part of your conference registration.

Highlights of the one-day program will include team-building exercises, networking, and information sharing opportunities for the youth councils. Sessions will address youth leadership and how to become active and engaged members of the community.

Youth commissions and youth advisory boards from across the state are invited to participate.

Please Note: There will be a $70 registration fee for each student and chaperone attending the Youth Program.

  How to Hurdle Adversity: Embrace the New Normal Mindset
  This inspirational keynote will focus on identifying the fears which constrict our growth mindset and will provide a pathway to a new normal mindset to win life's medals, because post Covid, there is no going back to “normal.”
  
  Attendees will learn and experience the journey of John Register, who was a world-class athlete and Army combat veteran. Register's life changed with one wrong step during a pre-Olympic hurdle training event where he dislocated his left leg. Seven days later his leg was amputated.
  
  Instead of giving up, he developed “the new normal mindset” and proceeded to make two Paralympic teams and win the Long Jump silver medal in Sydney, Australia just 7 years post his amputation. Following his athletic career, Register has inspired millions to live more courageously and commit to the new normal mindset so they too can run over the hurdles in their lives.
