MARCH 2023

Join us for our March Power Hour today from noon to 1 p.m. as we explore the new "Billions to Gain” report on the benefits of a more educated Arizona.

• Mayor McFarland from the City of Casa Grande will share the effects of education on economic development in Pinal Country and the state.

• Sarah Tolar from the City of Mesa and Celina Salinas from Mesa Community College will discuss Mesa’s Promise Program which is helping more Mesa students afford postsecondary education. 

• Mike Pineda of Estrella Mountain Community College will talk about the education programs geared toward growing Arizona's entrepreneurs.

We hope you will join us to learn more about the importance of educational attainment to our cities, our state and our own quality of life.

Last week the Arizona Senate passed Senate Bill 1717, which will expand dual enrollment opportunities to more students.

Now we need your help to encourage House representatives to support it!

SB 1717 will provide support to low-income students and schools to help give ALL students the same opportunities as their peers.

By making dual enrollment more affordable and accessible, Arizona can increase the number of students who are prepared and ready for education or training after high school.

Please contact your representatives today and urge them to support SB 1717!
