Monthly, MPA hosts a breakfast open to members and future members. These informative and educational breakfasts can be presentations, panel discussions, debates or forums. Topics cover relevant issues of interest to our community, as they relate to the land use and development industry. This event typically draws 100 attendees and is an ideal way to interact with community leaders, elected officials and colleagues.

Join panelists from Pima County, City of Tucson, Town of Marana, Town of Oro Valley, and the Town of Sahuarita to dive into the nuances each jurisdiction is facing and their tailored approaches to address these challenges.
