AZ is pretty much in the opposite corner of the country!

I’m not familiar with the philanthropic associations there, but I’d definitely look for local chapters of the Association of Fundraising Professionals.

I’m sure there must be other nonprofit associations that would have events.

FInally, while free is nice, don’t be afraid to pay a bit to get some training or join an association. Money spent on learning to fundraise well is an investment that pays for years and years!
