Payment in Full In Advance Or At Event
In order to receive the pre-paid luncheon prices, you MUST pre-pay with your credit card on the website BY THE RSVP DEADLINE. DO NOT MAIL IN CHECKS.
If you make a reservation but do not pay on the website with your credit card, you must pay the total cost plus an additional $5 by check or cash at the door. Please see prices on the website.
If you cancel after the registration deadline, or do not show up for a luncheon for which you have registered and you have not paid, you will be billed at the "at the door" price. We pay for the number of meals we guarantee so we must collect the money from you.
Cancellation Policy:
We do not give refunds, but a member can receive a credit IF you prepay for the luncheon meeting and cancel BEFORE the registration deadline. After the registration deadline of NOON on the Friday before the luncheon meeting, we cannot provide you with a credit. We are required to guarantee the number of meals to the University Club, and we pay for those meals even if you must cancel after the registration deadline. Visit our FAQ page for information on how to cancel your registration, among other important information.
About this event
This November, there will be up to a record 14 propositions on the ballot - 11 legislative referenda and three citizen initiatives. They range from restoring abortion rights, limiting the right of citizens to vote to not retain merit-selected judges to making it a crime to be in Arizona without proper documentation. You may have heard a lot about some of them in the news but no objective discussion of all of them. For example, one legislative proposal would allow an employer to pay their regularly tipped employees as much as 25% per hour less than the minimum wage, if the employer can establish that the employee is paid at least the minimum wage plus $2.00 per hour for all hours worked. Another would require any administrative rule that would increase regulatory costs in Arizona by more than $500,000 within five years after implementation to require legislative approval before implementation.
Join us to hear Tom Collins present an objective, non-partisan discussion of all the propositions. Being informed and prepared will help us set the state's agenda on these diverse issues.
Thomas Collins is Executive Director of the Arizona Clean Elections Commission, a nonpartisan commission charged with administering and enforcing voter education and campaign finance transparency laws for the State of Arizona. Collins is an attorney whose legal work focuses on administrative and constitutional law. He is a member of the Arizona Supreme Court Committee on Examinations and the State Bar's Administrative Law Advisory Commission. He was a 2019 Arizona Capitol Times Leader of Year honoree for Law.
