    Arizona News – The Arizona Community Foundation announces the departure of Chief Program and Community Engagement Officer Lisa Urias who will leave the foundation on February 10 to take a cabinet position for Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs as the Director of the Office of Tourism.

    In her new role, Urias will report directly to the Governor and lead the state’s tourism agency, which oversees Arizona’s largest industry by revenue at over $146 billion.

    “Given Lisa’s many talents and considerable experience, she is the ideal person to lead this office for the Governor,” said Steve Seleznow, ACF President & CEO. “She will bring her wisdom, experience, and talent to a thriving industry in this great state.”

    Urias has had a considerable impact during her two-year tenure as ACF’s Chief Program and Community Engagement Officer. She attracted dynamic talent to the team, expanded the foundation’s work in diverse communities across the state, and doubled the available capital for nonprofit developers through ACF’s impact investing program.

The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you.
