What We Do
|
| |
|
The League of Arizona Cities and Towns provides an important link among the
90 incorporated
cities and towns in Arizona. The League is the only organization that connects each and every
municipality regardless of size or geographic location. In these increasingly challenging times,
the League continually strives to better assist Arizona's cities and towns. We represent the
collective interests of cities and towns at the State Legislature, provide timely information
on important municipal issues, create skill-sharpening workshops and develop networking
opportunities - to name just a few of the services the League provides.
|
| |
Legislative Issues
During the legislative session and throughout the year, the League staff meets with legislators
and other special interest groups to represent the interests of cities and towns. We carefully
monitor and track each bill of municipal concern that is introduced during the session. We
spend a great deal of our time attending and testifying at committee hearings on bills of
municipal interest. Click here for more information about the League's
legislative program.

Technical Assistance
Technical assistance is provided to cities and towns through a variety of methods including
responding to phone inquiries, legal council, writing and editing technical publications and
manuals, on-line services, archive collections and historical information.

Information and Inquiry Service
The League is a resource and information service for every city and town. To help keep municipal
