The Gallup Arizona Poll captured a clear picture of what Arizonans want for their state. This year, we revisit the eight citizen goals, look at what's changed over the last three years and recommend specific actions to move Arizona forward. The report includes the 2012 Arizona Civic Health Index findings.
Nominations are being accepted for the 2013 Gabe Zimmerman Public Service Awards, a statewide competition created to recognize non-elected public servants who serve as a critical link between citizens and the people elected to represent them. DEADLINE FOR NOMINATIONS: Monday, June 17, 11:59 pm
The Civic Health Index is the nation’s leading gauge of how well Americans connect to one another and to their communities. In partnership with the National Conference on Citizenship, the Center publishes the state report on an annual basis. This year, we invite you to take the survey for yourself to see immediately how similar or different your responses are from those of your fellow Arizonans.
