Anne is Director of Arizona State University’s (ASU) Sustainable Cities Network and Project Cities Program. Celebrating over a decade of service and award-winning partnerships since 2009, SCN is a program within ASU’s Julie Ann Wrigley Global Future Laboratory (GFL) & the Global Institute of Sustainability & Innovation (GIOSI) that convenes Arizona communities and tribes with the goal of providing educating and training opportunities; increasing information exchanges and collaborative opportunities; and increasing individual community and regional sustainability efforts. Anne also directs SCN’s Project Cities Program, a university-community partnership pairing ASU students with a local city to co-create innovative sustainability solutions to local problems and challenges. Since its inception in 2017, Project Cities has partnered with four Arizona communities on over 70 real-world, local project matches. Almost 1000 ASU students have been involved with Project Cities projects, providing cities with needed research, information and recommendations to move projects, policies, and programs forward.
