NAMI Arizona 2020 Annual Meeting

“Celebrating Collaborative Community Oversight by Connecting the Dots”

The NAMI Arizona Board of Directors invites you to attend and participate in our 2020 Annual Meeting, “Celebrating Collaborative Community Oversight by Connecting the Dots” scheduled for Saturday January 11th, 2020 at the Ability360 Conference Center 5025 E. Washington St. Phoenix, AZ 85034 from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM.

We recognize that many of you have invested a considerable portion of your lifetimes ensuring those we love receive the very best healthcare outcomes possible. You may be getting a little tired hoping to one day rest in the peace and comfort of knowing you’ve done all you can to ensure our System runs as effectively as possible. So, here’s your chance to ensure your finger remains on the pulse at all times via intentional partnering and collaborative oversight.

In the spirit of our 2020 Conference theme, ““Celebrating Collaborative Community Oversight by Connecting the Dots” we invite Individual, Family, and Community Leaders representing every sector of our State to join us as we strive to ensure the Right Voices are at the Right Tables. We plan to recognize those Collaborative Community Leaders who share our common vision. And we plan to connect Conference participants to community and State initiatives that best match their talents and interests

To further demonstrate our steadfast love, respect, and appreciation for the incredible work our NAMI Arizona Affiliates do each day, NAMI Arizona is dedicating up to 50% (after expenses) of this year’s Annual Meeting Sponsorship revenue to specific targeted education, development, and strengthening activities in support of our 11 officially sanctioned NAMI Affiliates (NAMI Havasu, NAMI Flagstaff, NAMI Sedona, NAMI Yavapai, NAMI White Mountains, NAMI Payson, NAMI Valley of the Sun, NAMI Pinal Central, NAMI Southern Arizona, NAMI Southeastern Arizona, and NAMI Yuma) with primary focus on provision of an off-site summit designed to grow affiliate community impact.

Please consider one of the Sponsorship opportunities included herein, and thank you for all you do for those we serve!

Thanks, Jim
