2020 MAG Maps & Data Workshop - East Valley (Gilbert)

Maricopa Association of Governments

Invites You to Attend

2020 MAG Maps & Data Workshop

Learn how to access demographic and employment data for your community, the region, and throughout the state of Arizona.

What will you learn?
In a live computer lab setting, attendees will use the MAG map viewers (focusing on the Arizona Demographic viewer and the Arizona Employer viewer) found at maps.azmag.gov to conduct searches for demographic and employment data at the community, region, and state levels. MAG online data resources will also be explored. Hands-on exercises and other handouts complement the demonstrations and instruction and provide guidance for future reference.

Who should attend?
People from a wide variety of backgrounds have found our maps and data to be valuable resources for their work and causes, particularly those who conduct planning and community assessment for public, private, or governmental purposes. This includes those who work in areas of economic development, planning and development, public safety, public health, human services, real estate, education, employment services, library services, policymaking, marketing, and more.

If you know others who may benefit from this workshop, you are welcome to forward your invitation or this registration page on to them.
