Good morning, thank
you for coming today. Before we begin, I just want to point out a few
important things:
|
|
|
|
1.You should have received a handout when you came in this
morning presenting an overview on what we’ll be discussing today. I encourage
you to refer to it during the presentation and discussions later.
|
|
2.Our presentation is about our direction in state government
over the next decade in terms of community, economic and workforce
development. We’ll be presenting several strategies, but please note they are
very high level to accommodate the unique development opportunities in local
communities. This is not intended to be a top-down approach, and we’re here
today to get your input and to ensure we’re heading in the right direction.
|
|
3.What we’ll discuss today is the product of many hours of
work and input from countless people throughout Arizona over the last few
years. We want to thank all of you who have contributed either as a steering
committee member, a council or commission member, a business or community
leader or just being here today.
|
|
4.After my presentation, we’ll have a period of Q&A and
then we’ll break into groups for some in-depth discussion. You’ve been
pre-assigned to a discussion group, and you’ll find your group number printed
on your name tag. Each group will be answering the same set of questions, and
we have facilitators and records to make it easy for you to respond.
