31st Annual Pinal Co. Town Hall Report
One hundred sixty-nine delegates, including 34 students, attended the 31st Annual Pinal County Town Hall meeting at Robson Ranch in Eloy for a one-day meeting on October 18, 2018 to learn more about civility issues facing everyone in Pinal County, the State of Arizona, and the U.S. in all walks of life and every age group. Keeping calm in today’s business world, home and social life is becoming more difficult as communication becomes more disrespectful. Communication with adults and children can become volatile quickly. We were able to watch a county supervisor, a local mayor, a large business representative, and a small non-profit business person handle disgruntled citizens! We were privileged to see how the professionals, working with angry citizens turn the conversation from anger to understanding. We listened and asked questions regarding the power of two-way communications on social media channels. To understand how to turn a conversation around to positive discourse can save an individual’s life.
