Endorsements & Position StatementsÂ
At the Tempe Chamber, our endorsements and policy positions are more than just statements, they are a reflection of our community’s values, priorities, and future. That’s why we rely on a thoughtful, evaluation process to guide these important decisions.
Our Good Governance Committee, made up of a selective group of Chamber Board Directors from a variety of industries, conducts in-depth evaluations of candidates and key policy issues. This committee ensures that every endorsement and position is rooted in the needs of our business community.
