Join us for a fun Friday of golf to benefit literacy for our children in Pinal County. All proceeds will benefit our reading by 3rd Grade Initiative, in partnership with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, to provide books to children under the age of 5 to develop critical literacy skills and prepare them for kindergarten. Most recent AZ test scores reflect only 27% of Pinal County 3rd graders are reading, and 90% of a child's brain develops by age 5, so reading to young children is key to preparing them for school and reading. All golfers will enjoy a light breakfast, practice balls, golf, cart, lunch, a welcome bag and more. We have exciting updates and new contests this year including a chance to win $10,000 cash for a hole in one! Visit UWPCgolf.com to learn more, sponsor and register. more info...

As Pinal County continues to grow at a rapid pace, one big question stands out: Are large-scale solar farms and energy-hungry data centers what our region truly needs — and are we prepared for the power demands that come with them?
Join us for the next PinalCentral Presents as we explore the evolving energy landscape in Pinal County. From expanding solar developments to the rise of major data center projects, growth is driving unprecedented demand on our power grid.
But what does that mean for residents, businesses, water use, land use and long-term infrastructure planning?
Hear directly from industry experts, energy leaders and local decision-makers as they discuss:
The role of solar farms in Pinal County’s future
The economic impact of attracting data centers
Grid capacity and reliability
How growth is shaping our energy strategy
Whether current projects are meeting a true need — or moving faster than infrastructure can support
Be part of an informed, balanced conversation about where we’re headed and what it means for our community.

Ready to elevate your nonprofit board — and your role within it? Join us for an empowering session led by author and board-governance specialist Erik Hanberg. This is your chance to move from “just another meeting” to meaningful impact as a board member.
In this interactive workshop, you’ll learn how to:
Understand the critical responsibilities and influence of a nonprofit board — why good governance matters for mission, reputation, and sustainability
Build and contribute to a strong board team: recruitment, roles, accountability, culture, and strategic oversight
Clarify the difference between being on a board and being in the boardroom: how individuals can show up prepared, proactive, and attuned to the mission
Explore real-world pitfalls, success stories, and actionable checklists to help your board transition from “bored” to genuinely engaged leadership
As part of this event you’ll receive a copy of each of Erik Hanberg’s three books on nonprofit leadership and governance — powerful tools to continue your board-transformation journey.
About the Facilitator
Erik Hanberg has spent more than 15 years working in the nonprofit sector in roles spanning fundraising, marketing, board service and staff leadership. He is the author of books tailored for nonprofit boards, including The Little Book of Boards: A Board Member’s Handbook for Small and Very Small Non-profits. In addition to his writing and consulting work, he has served on elected public boards — including as a commissioner for Metro Parks Tacoma — giving him practical, boots-on-the-ground insight into board leadership.
Who should attend?
Current or incoming board members who want to deepen their understanding and effectiveness
Non-profit staff or executive directors seeking strategies to strengthen their board
Individuals curious about serving on a nonprofit board and wanting to step in prepared
