The full text of these recommendations is contained in this final report. An essential element to the success of these consensus-driven discussions is the background research report that is provided to all participants before the Town Hall convenes. Arizona State University coordinated this detailed and informative background material, and it provided a unique resource for a full understanding of the topic. Very special thanks to the editor Betsy Fahlman who spearheaded this effort, and marshaled a record number of talented professionals to write individual chapters. The 98th Town Hall could not occur without the financial assistance of our generous sponsors, including Presenting Sponsors Flinn Foundation and Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust; Collaborating Sponsor Schaller Anderson; Supporting Sponsors Cox Communications and Snell & Wilmer; and Civic Sponsor Perkins Coie Brown & Bain. The consensus recommendations that were developed during the course of the 98th Town Hall have been combined with the background information coordinated by Arizona State University into this single final report that will be shared with public officials, community and business leaders, Town Hall members and many others for years to come. This report, containing the thoughtful recommendations of the 98th Town Hall participants, is already being used as a resource, a discussion guide and an action plan for how we can capitalize on arts and culture to improve Arizona’s economy, education and quality of life. Sincerely, Ron Walker Board Chair, Arizona Town Hall The Arizona Town Hall gratefully acknowledges the support of sponsors who understand the importance of convening leaders from throughout the state to develop consensus-based solutions to the critical issues facing Arizona. Our sincere thanks are extended to the sponsors of the 98th Arizona Town Hall.
