August 6, 2018 EVP News, Meetings & Events, News & Media , ,

The partnership is known as an organization that ‘rolls up its sleeves’ and gets to work for the entire PHX East Valley region.  With that, we are excited to distribute the 2018/19 Master Committee Meetings and Events Schedule to our member organizations. This year we have made a few changes to our overall committee structure and we look forward to better serving our members .

  1. Each committee will only meet FOUR times per year, unless noted otherwise. This will allow for more in depth agenda topics on various issues happening throughout the region.
  2. We have combined the Aviation & Aerospace Committee with the Economic Development Committee. This new combo committee will still meet from September to March on various regional Aviation and Economic Development issues. There will be two meetings with a main focus of Aviation/Aerospace and two with a main focus of Economic Development. However, all meetings will highlight the overall growth and development of our region and the assets that make strategic growth possible. Those who are currently serving on either committee will be automatically added to the full distribution list to receive meeting date notifications and agendas. Should you be interested in joining this committee, please let us know!

We encourage ALL members to actively participate in at least one committee that appeals to their individual interests or expertise.

Please note that meeting locations & additional details are announced in advance of each meeting via committee email distributions lists, unless otherwise indicated.
