OAT had a great time presenting at Tomahawk Elementary and Middle School’s Career Day! We loved sharing what civilian oversight is all about and inspiring the next generation with fun, curious, and engaged youth. Opportunities like these are so important, they help students see new career paths, understand how community accountability works, and empower them to imagine their own future roles in building safer, stronger communities.

Law Day at the Maricopa Municipal Court was unforgettable!
Over 40 South Mountain High School students showed up and showed so much curiosity and leadership as we explored the importance of civilian oversight, our real‑world version of checks and balances. Deep appreciation for Pamela Neal, whose dedication and vision made this day come alive for our younger kids and high schoolers alike.

Law Day 2026 was a win. OAT had the honor of joining the event at the Aeroterra Community Center, hosted by the amazing Pam Neal, who leads Student Court with so much heart. We spent the day with 3rd–8th graders talking about the importance of transparency in Phoenix policing, running a fun activity, and joining a panel alongside judges and community pillars. Such an inspiring experience and we get to do it again next week with our teens.

Team OAT was excited to kick off Black History Month by tabling at NFBPA’s Annual Black History Month Celebration! The National Forum for Black Public Administrators (NFBPA), founded in 1983, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing public leadership in local and state governments. With over 2,500 members, NFBPA focuses on nurturing minority leadership through mentorship, executive training, and leadership development initiatives. The City of Phoenix chapter of NFBPA truly did their thing, creating an incredible event to honor the rich history, culture, and contributions of the Black community.

✨ MLK Day Celebration at Mathew Hance Park ✨
The energy at Mathew Hance Park was powerful — a community coming together with purpose, pride, and a shared commitment to Dr. King’s vision. Connecting with residents and sharing OAT’s work felt especially meaningful surrounded by people who care deeply about building a more accountable and transparent Phoenix.
A standout moment was seeing Assistant City Manager
Ginger Spencer, forever OAT family and a true example of leadership grounded in service.
Honoring the dream means continuing the work, together.
