The
Arizona Chapter of ACR looks forward to hosting the
ACR 7th Annual Conference from October 24-27, 2007 in
Phoenix. We join ACR in inviting you to come to the
Annual Conference to rekindle friendships and meet new
members, to learn about conflict resolution in traditional
and non-traditional ways, to explore and share innovative
ideas, and to continue our conversations about diversity
and equity.
Arizona
is a culturally and geographically diverse state. Our
heritage draws from Spanish and American Indian influences
which stretch across Arizona from small old copper-mining
towns like Bisbee or Jerome, to major cities such as
Tucson and Phoenix, to the Grand Canyon - truly one
of the world's great natural wonders.
October
is one of the most pleasant times of the year in Phoenix
and throughout Arizona. Many attendees will come only
for the conference. Others may bring family members
and extend their stay, either before or after the conference.
As hosts, we want you to enjoy and experience as much
as possible in the time you have in Arizona.
Between
now and October, we will provide information each month
in ACR Update that we hope will whet your appetite for
the Annual Conference and make your visit to Phoenix,
Arizona more enjoyable. In the coming months, we will
highlight a range of topics, including:
-
Fun facts about the history of Phoenix and Arizona
- Weather and what to wear. (But it's a dry heat!)
- Best Arizona places to visit including day
trips and more. The Grand Canyon is #1, but don't miss
the red rocks of Sedona, or Tombstone, Bisbee or Lake
Powell.
(Note: Anyone desiring to stay at a lodge in the
Grand Canyon National Park should make reservations
early.)
- Sports events and venues - Phoenix is the home
of 4 major sports franchises
- Outdoor activities - hiking, biking, boating…Did
anyone say golf?
- Sightseeing and tour opportunities on your
own and organized
- Dining in and around Phoenix
- Museums and cultural activities - Heard Museum,
Science Center, Phoenix Museum of Art, Desert Botanical
Gardens, and much more
- Entertainment nightclubs, theater, opera, concerts,
arts and craft fairs ...
We
hope to see you at the Annual Conference.
