Thirty years ago, three Phoenix business leaders called together the region’s top business and civic leaders to address major problems facing the community. The invitation read in part: “the immediate future of Phoenix may depend upon the response of business leadership to this challenge.” All forty individuals invited to the meeting attended.

Today, Greater Phoenix Leadership (GPL) members collectively represent 89 companies and over 250,000 employees, almost one-third of Arizona’s top 100 employers. Members work together to move forward initiatives, public policy and projects that will strengthen the future of Arizona. They believe it is their responsibility to help do so.

GPL recognizes that community involvement garners its best results when done collaboratively. Through engagement and results-producing relationships with philanthropic organizations, government and educators, GPL members are committed to making the greater Phoenix region and State of Arizona the place where citizens want to live, work, raise a family and earn a quality education.
