Verde Valley Forum for Public Affairs coming next April with Morrison Institute assistance
The Verde Valley Forum for Public Affairs, (VVFPA), a non-partisan, non-political and not-for-profit organization, has decided to conduct a forum next April designed to evaluate and improve post-secondary educational opportunities in the Verde Valley and Sedona. The purpose of the VVFPA is to bring people and ideas together . It is modeled closely after the Arizona Town Hall. Mr. Dick Dahl from Sedona is the president of the Committee.
The Forum will be held at the Cliff Castle Conference Center, beginning Sunday evening, April 3, 2016, with the kickoff dinner and keynote speaker. Panel discussions will convene mornings and afternoons of April 4 and 5, with the final plenary session in the morning on April 6.
The research committee for the 2016 Forum, headed by Marshall Whitmire of Camp Verde, will work with the Morrison Institute of Arizona State University to produce the background document which prepares the participants for the panel discussions.
Approximately 100 residents of the Verde Valley and Sedona will be invited to participate in the forum. They will be carefully chosen to represent an accurate demographic cross-section of the area from the standpoints of age, gender, career status, occupation and locale.
