The Arizona Center for Afterschool Excellence was selected as one of five statewide afterschool networks to receive funding from the National League of Cities to hold a mayoral summit on afterschool. The Center will organize a statewide event to help brand the afterschool movement in Arizona and develop a group of city champions. The goals of the event include highlighting best practices, showcasing the impact of high-quality programs and discussing the role that cities can play. Tucson Mayor Robert E. Walkup will host the statewide summit, and representatives from the City of Phoenix and the League of Arizona Cities and Towns will serve on the summit planning committee.
