CIUDAD Outreach Event – November 15, 2003

The Public outreach or forum event will be from 1-5 pm on Saturday, November 15, 2003 at the Academy Village in the Great Room. It will be advertised and will be open to the public. The focus will be on explaining the concept of CIUDAD and the importance of what is currently being done in the Valley and why.

a. The speakers will need to remember to keep things in “lay” terms
b. The goal is to increase communication about what is going on in the area
c. We will provide a template or outline for presenters to remind them to focus on bringing their work around to how it is applied to land use decisions and planning AND how people can get involved in their work (if they help, how will it impact them and make their lives there better?)

d. POTENTIAL TITLES

• Growth and its impact on natural resources in the Rincon Valley
• How Growth impacts natural resources in Saguaro National Park
• How conservation values can work with growth near Saguaro National Park
• Science and its role in natural resource protection and the growth occurring in the Rincon Valley
