Get involved.
Moving the PHX East Valley forward is not the responsibility of one person. Instead, it’s accomplished by a dedicated group of business, education, nonprofit and municipal leaders all working toward a common goal.
It is in this spirit that we invite you to lend your knowledge and expertise to our region.
There are several ways to get involved: advocating on issues such as education and transportation, shaping business, economic and community development and promoting our region locally, nationally and internationally.
Networking.
The PHX East Valley Partnership also hosts signature networking events — from its annual Breakfast with the Governor to timely forums and an annual meeting — all in an effort to grow our economy and preserve our region’s quality of life.
Signature Events
- Breakfast with the Governor – January
- Annual Board & Membership Meeting – May/June
