The MAP (Making Action Possible) Dashboard project was created to measurably improve Southern Arizona through data-driven action and education. The Dashboard provides users with valuable information about our region’s progress in education, health, infrastructure, and much more. It also provides access to the latest demographic information for our region.

MAP Talks are webinars featuring guest speakers, Jennifer Pullen (Senior Research Economist and MAP Dashboard Coordinator), and George Hammond (EBRC Director). MAP Talks last 60-90 minutes with time for Q&A at the end. 

 
We are excited to have several guest speakers joining us for the MAP Talk on Arizona's Heat-Related Health Impacts. Join us to learn more about the impact of heat on health in Tucson.
