Management Committee

Five public sector entities, including city and county government and public educational institutions, four private sector entities, such as non-profit and commercial groups, and one “Citizen at Large,” Mary Ellen Crowley, made up the Flagstaff 2020 Management Committee. Representatives from each of these groups met regularly to oversee and direct the processes, activities, and events that took place during the Flagstaff 2020 community visioning process.

While members of the Management Committee disagreed, sometimes strongly, about what Flagstaff should look like in the future, they built upon a legacy of collaboration between institutions in the greater Flagstaff area. In the clip below, M. Carol Curtis describes how the City of Flagstaff and Coconino County have worked together in the past and continue to work together on important projects like Flagstaff 2020. Watch Curtis’s entire oral history interview via Digital Collections.

At the end of the Flagstaff 2020 visioning process, a representative from each institution represented on the Management Committee signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the acceptance and implementation of the greater Flagstaff 2020 community vision as laid out in A Vision for our Community.
