Thought & Policy

Arizona is home to a dense network of policy and subject matter expertise, but that knowledge is diffuse. The 1912 Institute integrates disparate minds and policy proposals, institutionalizing information and therefore building common knowledge, so that Arizona can advance initiatives and sustain projects for the long term.

The 1912 Review

The 1912 Review is a quarterly print publication dedicated to showcasing the best of Arizona: where we've been and where we're going. Its readers include our subscriber base (primarily Arizona-based young professionals), business leaders, elected officials, and lobbyists.
