Join VIP leaders and key allies to kick-off our organizing for 2026. We will analyze the political and economic pressures confronting Arizona, understand the forces driving local budget decisions, and strategize how to build power for the collective wellbeing of our communities.

We will discuss how to: understand power; identify and develop sustainable leadership; think and act strategically; and most important, how to engage in real conversations about the mission and democratic action of your institution building power for families across the Phoenix Metro Area.
