Cultural Planning Leadership Coalition
The Cultural Planning Leadership Coalition is comprised of the executive directors of our community’s major arts, culture, nature and heritage non-profit organizations, government, business and community members has formed to further develop potential implementations designed through the Cultural Planning process.
The C.P.L.C. will act as a “sounding board” for issues, needs and solutions that emerge from the Pima Cultural Plan. Each meeting of the group will be a work session designed to reach consensus points that propel planning forward. This group will review and approve Plan drafts that are presented to the community and, ultimately, to decision making bodies. Current C.P.L.C. members include:
