Can't speak for the organization, but I can about Tucson.
My wife attended the UofA and has many family members down there. I loved being there. Too many good restaurants to count or list, incredible golf (depends on where you go of course), AMARC for nerds, Desert Museum, BioSphere, Karch Caverns, excellent mountain biking and the list goes on. Plus you're close to Mexico if you want to go. Rocky Point, when it isn't spring break (or when it is), is a fun time.
Its a pretty artsy town, and has an um, "hippy" vibe, but the fact that Raytheon, Honeywell, and a few other high-tech companies, and the U of A means that you can get a good mix of people.
Oh, and its 350 days of clear flying weather, sounds good to me. Unless you want actual, but since its LSA stuff, don't think that matters much.
I can find out more if you like, or just PM me or something. The gentleman

who owns this site lives close enough, I'm sure he could let you know more also.
Bear Down!
