The Guest Speaker for Wednesday, JUNE 18th
at the New location at
the Arizona Country Club is
Mark Winkleman,
Arizona State Land Commissioner
Governor Napolitano
appointed Mark Winkleman as the Arizona State Land Commissioner in 2003. Mark
has the responsibility to act as a trustee in the management of over 9 million
acres of State
Trust land throughout the state, including over 500,000 acres in major Arizona
cities. When Mark came to the Land Department, his initial goal was to maximize
the revenues from the disposition of urban lands through the auction process.
After implementing new strategies through the Land Department staff, the
intensity of bidders and the prices achieved were unprecedented. During the
past four years, the Land Department has achieved sales in excess of $1.8
billion. This far exeeds the sales of the preceding 88 years. This money
primarily is used for public education. The successes have not gone unnoticed
by the primary beneficiary of the Trust, Arizona Public Education. Mark stated.
“I am thankful for the many messages of appreciation I receive from people
involved in Arizona education, especially the teachers and their students. At
the end of the day, we know we are working for the continued improvement of
education in Arizona.” Mark has been a leader in the effort to reform the laws
under which the trust lands are managed. His goal is to encourage reform that
will increase revenues to the beneficiaries, primarily public education, and
increase permanent open space. He hopes to promote better planning of lands
directly in the path of growth and reduce urban sprawl while also providing for
better management of the vast rural lands held by the Trust.
Mark will address the
propsed inititave being placed on the November ballot as well as explain why
previous voter inititaves have failed. Stewardship of this land is one of the
most important public policies facing our state. Join us at Nucleus to learn
the importance of this initiatave and how and why you should get involved.

DON BIVENS,
Chair of Arizona State Democratic Party
.
In August 2007 in Prescott
members of the Party’s State Committee elected Don Bivens to Chair the Arizona
Democratic Party. As a political veteran in Arizona Bivens stated that,
“Democrats have made tremendous strides in Arizona and I plan to build on our
momentum, we are watching a major shift in Arizona politics, as voters
increasingly turn to Democratic candidates. We welcome thoughtful voters who’ve
been alienated by partisan politics to join us as we work to realize a bright
future for all Arizonans.”
Bivens began his career in
Arizona politics in the late 1970s as a Precinct committee person. In the early
1980s, he was President of Young Democrats of Arizona. Since then, Bivens has
held leadership roles in many Arizona elections, including the 1982
gubernatorial campaign for Bruce Babbitt and the 1994 gubernatorial campaign for
Terry Goddard in which Bivens served as Finance Chair. He most recently served
on the finance committee for U.S. Senate candidate Jim Pederson. Bivens has
served as president of both the State Bar of Arizona and Maricopa County Bar
Association, and is a partner with the law firm of Snell & Wilmer, where he
