Overview

Mission

The east valley partnership is a regional coalition of community, business, educational, and government leaders whose goal is to provide leadership and support in specific areas of focus, thereby improving business and quality of life in the region.

What it reported doing in 2024

One of our major activities is the development of a legislative advocacy program for state issues that impact the members and the east valley. We have organized a highly inclusive process to develop a list of priorities and projects that can be shared with state and federal officials. Another important task is the ongoing participation of the partnership's staff and board members in a number of ad hoc committees. These committees are often charged with developing solutions to complex regional issues such as infrastructure and transportation funding. The partnership continues to serve the vital role of actively participating and occasionally facilitating these meetings. Two ongoing committees of note are the east valley education think tank and the statewide transportation partners committee. Another ongoing activity is to provide up to date demographic information about the region. Each year, an economic profile document is produced that contains demographic data and other relevant information about the region. Finally, the partnership has a standing marketing committee. We continue to help support and collaborate with many economic development organizations as to market the east valley region to new businesses throughout the united states.
