Vice-Mayor Al White was elected to the Flagstaff City Council in May 2000. He moved to Flagstaff in 1989 from the Grand Canyon where he had worked in hotel management since 1976. His career in the hospitality industry has provided Al a key understanding of tourism issues in Flagstaff. Al’s work in the recycling industry (owner/operator of New World Recycling of Flagstaff) also afforded Al an opportunity to witness the operation and actions of City staff. Concern for our environment and economic interests have made him a firm believer in planning for growth.

Before running for City Council, Al furthered his involvement in his community (since becoming a paraplegic in 1996), by becoming the Chairperson of the City’s Disability Awareness Commission and attending City Council work sessions and Regional Planning meetings.

Vice Mayor White has two grown children, Kathleen and Daniel, both of whom live and work in Tucson.
