Announcing the 7th Annual 2026 AZ Agribusiness Roundtable!

The Water Management Certificate Program is a unique collaboration between the Agribusiness & Water Council of Arizona, the Morrison School of Agribusiness and the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering at Arizona State University.  The objective of this program is to train individuals who are or will be employed by public and private institutions tasked with managing water resources. 

 For over six decades, Yuma Fresh Vegetable Association has believed in the importance of providing an opportunity for discussion and strategic action regarding any problems facing the industry. By coming together and solving problems in a cooperative atmosphere, ideas and discussion are turned into an action plan that has real, positive benefits for Yuma’s agriculture industry.  

 The Maricopa Water District (MWD) was formally organized in 1925, as a political subdivision and an irrigation and water conservation district under Arizona state statutes and was successfully completed in 1927. MWD is the only privately financed reclamation project of its kind. MWD provides water and power to service an area of approximately 60 square miles. 

 In March 1923 the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors tentatively approved creation of the Roosevelt Irrigation District No. 1. The first leaders of this effort—W.J. Burns, G.C. Rubel, and T.J. Roberts— obtained signatures from 115 individuals who owned 20,000 acres and agreed to create the Roosevelt Irrigation District (RID). 

 Project CENTRL is a twelve-month, competitively selected and tuition-free leadership development program for 16 individuals connected to rural Arizona. Over the course of 9 seminars across Arizona, Washington, DC and Sonora, Mexico we build personal leadership skills, educate on the issues facing rural Arizona and connect leaders and experts.
