    Among those in attendance were Mayor Rob Adams, Vice Mayor Cliff Hamilton, Councilor Mark DiNunzio, Councilor Barbara Litrell, Councilor Dan McIlroy, and Councilor Mike Ward of City of Sedona. The conference is held annually in late summer and provides a unique opportunity for local officials to gather together to attend training sessions designed to aid in more effective and efficient management of Arizona’s municipalities, to hear from state and legislative officials, as well as share common concerns and ideas for problem solving.

    Mayor Adams stated, “I am pleased to announce that the two resolutions submitted by the City of Sedona at the League conference were unanimously approved by the League attendees. These resolutions advocated the return of Heritage grant funding to the State’s park system and the ability for each state park to retain their park fees.”

    Conference highlights included:

    • An opening general session on Wednesday, August 31 that featured keynote addresses from: Senator John McCain, National League of Cities President James Mitchell, and Economist Marshall Vest.

    • Recognition luncheon on Thursday, September 1 for key legislators who supported local governance during the 2011 legislative session.

    • Governor Jan Brewer was also recognized with an award at this luncheon for her strong partnership with local governments in Arizona. Additionally, attendees heard from Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Alan Bersin.

    • An all-day youth program took place on Wednesday, August 31 for youth delegates and chaperones from across the state. More than 75 participated in this program that focused on youth leadership and civic engagement.

    • More than 25 concurrent sessions, including panels and sessions on topics such as economic development, budgeting, open meetings, public records, youth commissions, tax policy, innovation, and tourism, among others.

    In addition to the many educational sessions and networking events at the conference, mayors and council members from across the state met during the event to develop resolutions for the League’s 2012 Municipal Policy Statement. The policy statement represents the collective interests of cities and towns statewide and will guide the League of Cities and Town’s lobbying efforts during the upcoming legislative session that begins in January.

    The 2012 League conference will be held in Scottsdale, Ariz. at the Hyatt Gainey Ranch, August 28-31, 2012.

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
