As members of our group became more involved in local events and charitable fundraisers, we recognized the need for a formal organization to handle and direct our future endeavors. The Arizona Browncoats registered as a non-profit organization in Arizona on January 1, 2007 and subsequently became a chartered corporation in April of 2008. AzBc, Inc. is dedicated to the promotion and support of causes for unity and equality among all people.

The Corporation is managed by a Board of Directors and several Procedural Officers. We have just entered our second year of operation and recently elected new officers. You can find more information about all of our officers on The Crew page.

AzBc, Inc. meetings are held on the first Saturday of every month, 6 pm at the Phoenix Bookmans Entertainment Exchange (19th Avenue and Northern, east of the I-17), just prior to our monthly shindig. Anyone is welcome to attend these meetings, but only official, dues-paying members are allowed to hold office, vote on business, etc. If you’re not able to attend a meeting in person, you can follow along with our live blog of each meeting. Watch the front page of the website for details of upcoming meetings.
