Pinal County Town Hall: “Connecting Communities – Pinal County’s Future”
” Through leadership, Pinal County Town Hall aspires to engage and educate Delegates to build consensus and achieve positive change.”
“Connecting Communities – Pinal County’s Future” is the theme for the 32nd Annual Pinal County Town Hall, Thursday October 24th. Approximately 200 delegates are expected to attend the informative sessions being held at Robson Ranch located at 5750 N. Robson Blvd., Eloy, Arizona.
Pinal County Town Hall’s primary sponsor each year is the Pinal County Board of Supervisors. Supervisor Anthony Smith, Dist. 4, represents the Board on the Pinal County Town Hall Advisory Committee. The Committee is honored to have the Supervisors in attendance and participating in Town Hall.
The Advisory Committee is composed of representatives from throughout Pinal County who meet monthly to work out details for the event. The Committee is partnering with the Center for the Future of Arizona and will focus on Connected Communities Progress Meter. We will hear from the Center for the Future of Arizona, setting the stage for the day’s events, explaining the Arizona We Want Progress Meter and the importance of community volunteering. The Committee plans on looking at successful volunteer programs throughout the county. We will hear from businesses, non-profit organizations, government, volunteers of all ages, and how volunteers connect the communities of Pinal County.
The overall goal of the sessions, according to Town Hall Director Maxine Brown is “to equip citizens with information and knowledge by looking at volunteerism in Pinal County, understanding the value of volunteers, and how to design successful volunteer programs. Delegates will be able to share the information with their community.”
Pinal County Town Hall’s Wayne G. Gerken Youth Scholarship will be awarded during the event. Town Hall offers students the opportunity to attend the event and participate in a round-table discussion to apply for the scholarship. Town Hall Advisory Committee Vice-Chair Donna McBride stated: “Town Hall has provided for young people to come together with local leaders. Helping them learn about key topics such as the importance of giving time to their community through volunteering will help create the next generation of leaders.”
Pinal County Town Hall Advisory Committee Chair Sandie Smith explained: “I have attended all 31 previous Town Hall’s and have witnessed firsthand the importance of bringing together the diversified interests of Pinal County citizens. The networking and friendships formed at the Town Halls are invaluable and form alliances that will help ensure Pinal County is a place where we can live, work, and play.”
