Mission Statement
Pinal County Town Hall is an assembly of delegates
annually convened that identifies critical issues facing Pinal County, creates the
forum for education/exploration of the topic and fosters networking/collaboration
among its participants. By drawing upon Pinal County's diversity of citizens
the Town Hall process promotes public consideration of these issues, builds
consensus and supports implementation of resulting outcomes.
The Pinal County Town Hall began in 1988. A few
individuals and organizations realized the importance of convening a cross-section
of county citizens to discuss issues of importance, especially those releated to
economic development.
Pinal County Town Hall receives substantial support
from the County Board of Supervisors as well as its many "Partners in Economic
Progress." A committee of volunteers, The Pinal County Town Hall Advisory Committee, meets
monthly to plan and facilitate the annual conferences.
Each spring, approximately 130-140 delegates
assemble for two days to discuss a topic that impacts the county
as a whole and its respective communities and citizens. Topics over the nineteen
years include:
| 1988 |

An annual report, which includes recommendation
and/or suggestions, is prepared after each town hall, and distributed to delegates
and partners and is monitored during the year for progress and action by members
of the advisory committee. While the town hall possesses no official power or
authority, it is significant to note that many of the delegate recommendations
and/or ideas have been implemented over the eighteen year history of town hall.
