Remember the Greater Phoenix Chamber Foundation this Giving Tuesday

Jocelyn McAlpin

Giving Tuesday, which takes place on November 30th, is a global generosity movement that was created in 2012 to encourage people around the world to simply do good. In the spirit of giving, the Greater Phoenix Chamber Foundation invites you to join the hundreds of millions of people who are donating what they can to help those in need.

“A cornerstone of the mission of the Greater Phoenix Chamber Foundation is to promote economic prosperity and quality of life for the Greater Phoenix region. The business community and the entire state of Arizona benefit from the work the Foundation is doing to focus on the opportunities that foster and promote economic prosperity and quality of life. Specifically, the work the Foundation is doing in the workforce development space. In order to continue to attract new businesses and retain the businesses we have, a skilled workforce pool, as well as a strong talent pipeline, is critical to the continued economic development success here in AZ.” – Stacy Derstine, GPCF Board of Directors Chair, APS Vice President, Customer Service & Chief Customer Officer
