Director's Circle

The Director's Circle is a special organization of individuals with a deep interest in supporting the educational programs of Arizona Science Center. With an annual gift of $1,000 or more, members share in the Center's mission to inspire, educate and entertain people of all ages about science. The annual leadership support of the Director's Circle ensures the funding necessary to inspire our next generation of community leaders.
