MEMBER COMMUNIQUÉ
Scottsdale PrideScottsdale is indeed a special
place. For the resident, it is a high-
touch, well-designed city with a
historically strong affinity for the
things – large and small – that
make it a wonderful place to live.
For businesses, Scottsdale offers
a kind of caché not found in most suburban cities – an
incredibly vibrant business presence.
There is a pride of place evident in everything around
us in Scottsdale. our design standards are high. our sign
ordinance is among the most stringent in the nation. our
setbacks provide view lines. our public art surpasses every
community I know, and our streets seem a little bit cleaner
and a little bit wider.
Scottsdale in many ways has moved forward while
holding fast to that which was good. It looked ahead without
losing the power of what preceded us, a recipe for pride that
too many communities forget. From Cavalliere’s blacksmith
Shop and the Rusty Spur to the energy and drive of Fashion
Week and foodie bliss from top chefs, Scottsdale has held
onto its Downtown while still changing with the times.
As the city has grown, it has maintained a rugged
insistence to excellence of place. our parks and libraries
are the envy of any community. our Airport is a bustling
hub of activity for recreational and business travel
alike. our neighborhoods feel special and alive, and our
business centers have become diversified and as rugged
as the desert itself in the face of tough challenges.
These last few years for everyone have been times to
separate needs from wants. And it is from observing the
identified needs that one gets a sense of the values of the
place. Scottsdale has had to make difficult choices but still
opened a new library, invested in the arts and worked hard
to ensure that citizens still had a community about which
they could feel great pride.
We are fortunate to live and work in such a place.
Your Voice. Your Future.Great Places reinvent themselves. Great places reflect a set of core principles derived
from the community itself. Great places address their immediate challenges in light of the
greater goal. Scottsdale must not just be great now but rather must be great in perpetuity.
Mediocrity is unacceptable.
on September 15th, 250 of Scottsdale’s most influential business and civic leaders
gathered together to launch a community dialogue and visioning process about Scottsdale’s
economic future called Next Steps Scottsdale: building an Action Plan for economic Growth.
Those in attendance included citizens, business leaders representing both large and small
businesses, members of the public, elected leaders, and volunteer members of the city’s
boards and commissions. The full house of leaders in attendance vowed to be part of the
solution, with 97% of the attended responding to a post-symposium survey indicating
they would attend future Next Steps Scottsdale events and more than 90% saying that the
symposium has energized them to become more active in economic development policy.
Seven years have passed since several key business leaders in Scottsdale brought us
Which Way Scottsdale? That oft-quoted report was the result of comprehensive research
and interviews with a large number of Scottsdale’s stakeholders conducted, compiled
and analyzed by the Morrison Institute for Public Policy at ASU. Which Way Scottsdale?
effectively changed the dialogue in our city at a time when we were only beginning to
recognize that we were a city without a clear, consensus-driven path to the future. our hope
for Next Steps Scottsdale is that it does the same.
In those seven years since Which Way Scottsdale?, much has changed and much remains
the same. The questions raised by the Morrison Institute report ring as true today as they
did then, although the economic context has changed dramatically. As a community, we
must address how we will build on our own success without sacrificing the things that make

Growing Emerging Talent (GET) Phoenix:Attracting and Retaining the Next Generation of business and Civic Leaders
Recognizing the changing demographics of the
workforce, the Scottsdale Area Chamber of
Commerce, in collaboration with business and
community partners, has developed a unique
and innovative program designed specifically to
address the needs of the future workforce and
create a focused effort to attract and retain young
professionals to the Metro Phoenix area.
About GET
The mission of GeT is to foster and cultivate
a community of young professionals through
partnerships and opportunities that accelerates
the talents of emerging leaders throughout Metro
Phoenix. The program is built on the following pillars
of success:
Professional Development: educational workshops,
seminars and training will prepare the next generation
of business leaders for success in the workplace.
Social Programs: Monthly social events will engage
young professionals with like-minded individuals for
personal and professional networking.
Mentorship: A group of experienced business
mentors will meet with groups of Young Professionals
and industry experts to exchange ideas, concerns and
opportunities. This two-way exchange of ideas will
foster growth in business, as well as developing the
next generation of business and civic leaders.
Community Outreach: Members of GeT will actively
reach out to local charitable foundations and
nonprofit organizations to develop their leadership
skills and give back to their community.
Political Awareness: Young professionals are
acutely aware of the political and social environment
and the difference one person can make. GeT will
provide non-partisan education to engage this next
generation of civic leaders.
So What? Why Should I Care?
To grow an innovation-based economy, cities
must attract young professionals. The “innovation
economy” rest largely with the next generation of
knowledge workers. U.S. cities must develop and
emphasize the quality of life amenities – the arts,
public parks and trails, a strong after 5 scene – that
attract the next generation. GeT will allow tomorrow’s
workforce to make meaningful connections to
their community and to each other; and to access
leadership development opportunities to enhance
their career

Scottsdale get past the stopsdale perception? How will
we as a community work with our regional partners?
Next Steps Scottsdale calls for big ideas and bold
moves. It invites us to look towards the future with a
clear vision of who we want to be and what we will be

we hope will provide more opportunities for dialogue,
more opportunities for collaboration and most
importantly, become a catalyst for the action and the
energy needed to ensure Scottsdale remains a truly
superior place to live, work and play.
