Dear Mayor Giles:
Thank you for your continued support of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council (GPEC). Your community’s partnership with GPEC in advancing the region’s economy is invaluable and we look forward to working with you in the coming year.
The first meeting of the Board for fiscal year 2022 is on September 16, 2021, during which the new slate of officers and directors will be adopted by the Board. Directors of the Board hold office for a term of one year. In accordance with GPEC’s bylaws, a city or town having a population of 500,000 or more but less than 1 million may have five representatives on the Board, who shall be nominated by the mayor of that city.
Due to the recent population increase, the City of Mesa is permitted two additional seats. As such, the City of Mesa may have five representatives on the Board, one of which may be an elected official.
We encourage achieving a board with diverse perspectives and believe it is critically important. With a diversity of experience and expertise, we are strategically positioned for the future, manage risk, make pragmatic decisions, and take full advantage to attract opportunities. A diverse board has a stronger capacity to attract and retain talented board members - as well as to be in touch with community needs.
GPEC’s Board of Directors meets four times annually during the months of September, January, March, and May.
GPEC directors are also encouraged to participate on leadership councils, partake in the Ambassador program, and attend GPEC hosted events.
By July 23, 2021, please submit your nominations for the Board, in order of preference, for the Nominating Committee to consider.
You may submit up to three candidates per allotted seat. We request that you make a reasonable effort to nominate individuals who meet the following qualifications as set forth in Section 2.4 of the GPEC bylaws:
1) Demonstrated commitment to the economic development of the Greater Phoenix Metropolitan Area;2) Demonstrated leadership in business or community initiatives;3) Commitment to lead resource development efforts on behalf of the Corporation;4) Ability to make a multi-year financial contribution to the Corporation; and5) Representation of a geographic area through work, residence, or investment.
The following individuals represented the City of Mesa on GPEC’s Board in fiscal year 2021.
