Directors Circle

 

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.

Membership in the Director's Circle
The Director's Circle has four levels of giving: Discoverer, Visionary, Innovator, and Scientist. Each level entitles the donor to many special and exclusive benefits. To join Director's Circle or for more information, please contact Maureen McDannel at 602-716-2014 or by email mcdannelm@azscience.org
