PHX East Valley Partnership

The PHX East Valley Partnership is a coalition of regional leaders who advocate to improve the business climate in the PHX East Valley. Its vision is to create, promote and sustain a high-quality and resilient PHX East Valley region. More recently, the PHX East Valley Partnership has managed special initiatives of regional interest, including long-range planning for the Superstition Vistas area, and the PHX East Valley, an initiative to brand the assets of the region targeted to an external national audience. The organization also has several standing committees to address aviation, education, transportation and the demand for workers. While the PHX East Valley Partnership was originally conceived as a small group of influencers, the organization now includes a diverse group of leaders. They include prominent figures from all areas of business, education, government and civic enterprise united as a bold entity representing the interests of the burgeoning region.
