Message from the Associate Dean and Extension Director I am pleased to announce that Mr. Malcolm K. Green has accepted the position as the Director for the Maricopa Agricultural Center (MAC). Malcolm will begin his duties on 12 August 2019.
Malcolm has an excellent background and commitment to building strong programs and relationships and he brings an outstanding skill set to MAC, the Arizona Experiment Station, and to the Cooperative Extension System.
I want to thank Dr. Randy Norton and the entire search and screen committee (Channah Rock, Pedro Andrade Sanchez, Suzanne Ernstein, Clint Jones, Bill McCloskey, and Brenda Singleton), and everyone at MAC for their excellent work, cooperation, and patience through this entire process.
Very importantly, I am deeply grateful to Mr. Vince Thacker, who has been serving as the Interim Superintendent for MAC, for his high level of commitment and professionalism; not only for the time he has been serving in this capacity but for the more than 30 years of excellent service and support he has provided to this organization.
I believe MAC is a tremendous facility with outstanding potential that will continue to serve the many people and programs who are working there today and facilitating the important connections for future development between the University of Arizona and the communities of central Arizona. Malcolm Green brings to this position an outstanding base of experience and expertise and he joins us at MAC at an opportune time as we move into the next decade.

This request for proposal is aimed at preparing guidance to support our 4-H volunteers to welcome youth from different experiences into all learning environments, including our club program.

Water Resources Research Center - 2019 Arroyo Now Available 2019 Arroyo Now Available
Few pairings provoke as passionate a response as the coupling of water and money; however, water is deeply rooted in our market economy. The newly published 2019 Arroyo, "Water, Business, and the Business of Water," takes this truism as a jumping-off point for its survey of the ways in which water and business intersect. The inspiration for this Arroyo came from "The Business of Water," the WRRC 2018 Annual Conference.
