ANCHOR is establishing a statewide board structure organized around one county director seat for each of Arizona's 15 counties, connecting long-term conservation stewardship with the communities and landscapes it is being built to serve.
ANCHOR's governance framework is being developed to combine statewide continuity with direct county representation.
Tommy Casanova founded ANCHOR to build a durable, voluntary system for protecting Arizona's rural lands, open space, and rural heritage. He is guiding ANCHOR's initial formation and the development of its legal, technical, governance, and stewardship infrastructure, with an emphasis on landowner choice, transparent institutions, and conservation commitments designed to endure across generations.
As ANCHOR's statewide board is established, future county seats will be filled by qualified directors. This page will be updated as those seats are activated and filled.
