MindQuest 2009/2010 Lecture Series

November 10, 2009  “The Future of Journalism”
Tim McGuire, Former Editor, Pulitzer Prize Winning Minneapolis Star Tribune

The shift from a print-based, scheduled world of media to a digital, on-demand world of options is changing how journalists do their jobs.  How do these changes impact the business of journalism and how does all this impact us?  What lies ahead?  Who can we depend on for accurate reporting and how do we know the truth?

 

January 26, 2010  “Our Courts”
Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Rebecca White Berch

We are honored to introduce Arizona’s newest Chief Justice to the Desert Foothills.  The Chief Justice presides over the Arizona Supreme Court, supervises all other State Courts, and chairs the Commission on Appellate Court Appointments.  Chief Justice Berch will help us to better understand the Supreme Court’s role and processes, and will provide perspectives on the challenges facing Arizona’s justice system.

 

March 9, 2010  “Rethinking AZ’s Tax & Revenue System”
Tara Jackson, President, Arizona Town Hall

Are we doomed to a future of fiscal crises, booms and government logjams?  What mix of revenue sources best ensures a prosperous Arizona?  Arizona Town Hall is an independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit membership organization that identifies critical issues facing Arizona.  Ms. Jackson will report on the findings of the recent Town Hall that examined Arizona’s tax and revenue system.
