The Office of State Relations

The Office of State Relations is the channel for the UA's communications with Arizona State Legislators and the Governor.  It communicates the UA's Budget Proposal [PDF] to the legislature, advises UA officials on proposed legislation, and directs advocacy. A state government update, issued from this office, informs UA personnel about how UA is affected by the Legislature.
