Later this month, the Chamber is proudly hosting three new Valley leaders to discuss business, innovation, and how meaningful leadership can influence change and push Phoenix forward.

New leaders bring new ideas, new experiences, and a new vision for places they work and communities in which they live. These local executives will share insights on being new leaders of local organizations in Arizona, the challenges, and opportunities facing their organizations and their perspectives on what it takes to make Phoenix a great place to live and do business.

This year the Chamber is proud to recognize three new executives at our Premier Leader Series:
