Conference Site
This year’s conference will take place in beautiful downtown Prescott Valley. Prescott Valley is a growing, thriving community nestled between the Mingus and Bradshaw Mountain Ranges. This Town attracts people who seek the natural beauty of Arizona, a peaceful lifestyle and a unique blend of modern and recreational amenities. Prescott Valley is truly one of the best places in the country to live, work and play! The City of Prescott Valley is a recognized modern and vibrant regional urban destination in northern Arizona. We are the center for medical services, transportation options, and educational and employment opportunities, and comprise a diverse cultural and ethnic base. Our small town character and a sense of community has been valued and retained as a part of our emergence as a regional leader. Community commerce has evolved to a mix of densities, intensities, and uses. Established business areas have flourished while new business and employment gateways have been developed.
A number of facilities will be utilized to accommodate the conference, including Prescott Valley’s Civic Center, Valley Library Building, Tim’s Toyota Event Center, and the Hampton Inn. In addition, the opening reception will be held in beautiful Fain Park, and the mobile workshops will expose you to the greater Prescott Valley area. The conference will conclude with the annual Planners’ Challenge Golf Tournament.
