The morning of November 1st, 2023, dawned with promise and purpose as we gathered at the Mesa Convention Center for the Arizona Sustainability Alliance’s (AZSA) annual Sustainability Celebration. This year’s event was more than just a celebration; it was a rallying cry for a greener, more sustainable future. With the theme of Tree Equity in our hearts, we embarked on a journey that left a lasting mark on our community.

The atmosphere buzzed with excitement as attendees from diverse backgrounds came together to connect, share ideas, and celebrate sustainability. We started the day with a delicious breakfast that fueled our bodies and spirits for the inspiring program ahead.

Our keynote speaker, President and CEO of American Forests, Jad Daley, took the stage with a vision that ignited our passion for Tree Equity. His commitment to creating lasting impact through diverse partnerships resonated with everyone in the room. Jad’s transformative ideas paved the way for a brighter, greener future.

The lively discussion that Arizona Town Hall facilitated was the focal point of the event. We dove deep into the concept of Tree Equity, exploring how it can be integrated into our lives and communities. This interactive session fostered connections, inspired action, and gave us a clear path forward.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the organizations that made our Sustainability Celebration possible. Their unwavering support is a testament to their commitment to sustainability and community well-being.
