The Saguaro Chapter’s goals for 2019 will be anchored on four main pillars:

• Promote economic development of the unmanned systems industry in Arizona through advocacy and by leveraging the expertise in industry, academia and governments from within and outside the state of Arizona.
• Educate: As a recognized resource for information, technical expertise and academic outreach, provide support to academic institutions and workforce development agencies to build and attract a qualified labor pool of (future) experts.
• Collaborate: Create a conducive, collaborative and structured environment through partnerships with councils, boards, test sites and other organizations that extend national and international testing to Arizona.
• Grow chapter membership that will represent Arizona’s public, private and academic unmanned systems and robotic community.

Chapter main focus:

With a mission of representing and extending AUVSI’s reach, our chapter focuses on promoting, encouraging and extending safe use and deployment of unmanned systems in Arizona. The accompanying result is a natural draw for new and renewed individual and organizational memberships that will help the chapter grow in 2019.
