Chandler Mayors' Stories: April 3

On April 3, 2012, Mayor Jay Tibshraeny and former Mayor Coy Payne will share their stories of growing up in Chandler and how they came to serve on the City Council. “Chandler Mayors’ Stories” will be held at the Downtown Chandler Library, 22 S. Delaware Street, starting at 6:30 p.m.

Mayor Tibshraeny served from 1994-2002, and 2011 to the present; while Coy Payne led the City from 1990-1994. Each arrived in the mayor’s seat through a very different set of circumstances, and their stories provide an interesting contrast - while revealing the rich diversity of our history. They will also talk about the ways they tried to shape the community under their leadership, and the major challenges they dealt with during their terms.

The presentation is part of the City’s Centennial Speaker Series, celebrating Chandler's 100th birthday on May 17. For more information about the Centennial, including events, history, and more, visit www.chandler100th.com.
