EVP Tied to Region’s Growth Over 35 years
By Paul Maryniak, Tribune Executive Editor
April 16,2017
The East Valley in the early 1980s was starkly different from what it is today.
The region was the 90-pound weakling to Phoenix. Major traffic arteries beyond County Club Drive were almost nonexistent. Cities fought over scant opportunities for development. The Pentagon was letting Williams Air Force Base die a slow death.
Amid this bleak and unpromising scene, a small group of business executives began meeting in 1982 at the Mesa Holiday Inn – then an exciting addition to a region dominated by cut-rate motels.
They formed the East Valley Partnership because they saw the region as a land of opportunity unrealized.
Some of those executives gathered two weeks ago at the same Holiday Inn to reminisce over the battles and the struggles that helped make the region what it is today.
Six men and two women who chaired the East Valley Partnership board at various times over the last 35 years were joined by its two former directors and a legendary former county supervisor and legislator who had worked closely with them all. . .
