Visioning Scottsdale Town Hall

Are you a visionary? Do you want to help shape the future of Scottsdale? Here’s how you can help.

The City of Scottsdale has hired the non-profit Arizona Town Hall organization to gather input and ideas from the Scottsdale community. Their charge is to make sure that the future of Scottsdale continues to be guided by people who share a love, passion and commitment to this community. People like you!

The “Visioning Scottsdale Town Hall” will occur on February 6, 7 and 11, 2013, between 7:30 am and 1 pm. The three, half-day sessions will include discussions regarding Scottsdale values, the future of the City, and what will the City will look like in the next 10-20 years.

The way the process works is that approximately 100 community members will be chosen to attend and participate in an active discussion. It is critical that these 100 participants include a broad-range of backgrounds, expertise and geographic representation of our city. To ensure a balanced and broad representation of participants, we are asking those interested to submit an application online, or print an application and send by mail to Arizona Town Hall, by January 11, 2013. If you do decide to apply, be sure to block out your calendar for the entire period of the three sessions. Active participation by each participant throughout the entire process is essential.  

The February 6th opening session will include a breakfast orientation followed by facilitated discussions.  Participants will return the following morning for further discussions. During the final session on Monday, February 11th, participants will summarize their discussion and finalize a draft vision statement and community values for Scottsdale. A final version will be available for review and comment by the entire community in late February. 

The Visioning Scottsdale Town Hall will be the first step in the Scottsdale General Plan 2014 process. It’s Your Plan. It’s Your Future. It’s Your Time to Act!
