Economic Profile tells everyone what’s great about East Valley
By John Lewis, Tribune Guest Writer
That's right and that's what John Lewis, shown in the image to the left,wants everyone - he calls us 'ambassadors' - who lives and works in the region to use as information when we talk to others.
Like many recent published pieces in the opinion page of The East Valley Tribune, politicians posing as 'Guest Writers" skip filtering anything through media channels,or spoon-feeding reporters, that might include items that don't fit in with the message they want to package as information.
No need to guess: Everything is great.
Get it?
That's the message. In the case of John Lewis, it's his job and he's doing his job by being a 'contributing writer' in the spotlight
John Lewis, former Mayor of Gilbert, serves as the President/CEO of the East Valley Partnership, a regional coalition of Business, Education, Community and Government leaders.
The Economic Profile, which can be viewed in its entirety at phxeastvalley.org/splash/wp-content/uploads/17-EV-Profile-Booklet.pdf, highlights some of our recent recognitions.
Here are some excepts from Mr. Lewis' published piece"
"In support of promoting our region, which for marketing purposes has been given the name “PHX East Valley,” each year we compile and publish an Economic Profile and Asset Map.
The Economic Profile provides information that can help PHX East Valley ambassadors—those who live and work in our region—as they talk to others.
The message to share is simple: where we live is a great place to receive a quality education, experience excellent career opportunities, raise a family, enjoy single living and retire. . .
As a region, we have a reputation for having a highly educated and skilled workforce
Businesses appreciate our regional emphasis on transportation infrastructure, shortening commutes and education.
As ambassadors for our region, our elevator speech might be: the PHX East Valley is a dynamic region of the southwestern United States that has experienced tremendous growth, and through thoughtful planning and collaboration we have a vibrant economy with regional assets such as a highly skilled workforce, robust infrastructure, world-class education, diverse real estate and ideal climate. . .
