| 5 | VALLEY LEADERSHIP · MAN & WOMAN OF THE YEAR | 5 | VALLEY LEADERSHIP · MAN & WOMAN OF THE YEAR Congratulations, Neil Giuliano and Sharon Harper! I’m honored to host my first Valley Leadership Man & Woman of the Year luncheon with two shining examples of leadership and community impact. I know you will all leave today inspired by their commitment to improving our communities. Our theme for this storied event is simple, yet pivotal: transformation, together, starts today. Through Neil and Sharon’s leadership journeys we’ll learn about why we need to come together now to solve our state's most pressing issues and how we can accomplish more by working together. We are at an exciting time for the Valley and Arizona. Phoenix is now the 5 th largest city in the country and Arizona continues to be a dynamic place economically, politically and culturally. As a native who grew up in Tempe, I’ve seen the many changes over the years: ASU, Tempe Beach Park (now Town Lake), downtown Phoenix’s growth, suburbs to exurbs, 202s, 303s and much more. The Valley continues to grow and with that growth comes challenges. What has inspired me so much over the last six months is that the Valley Leadership network is ready, willing and able to help solve these challenges. Our network is our greatest asset — we have such a diversity of skill sets, social and political capital, and the can-do attitude that lives on from our founders. We can accomplish much and impact many. But first, we need a plan. Our dedicated board and I have been working to develop a strategic plan that empowers, leverages and mobilizes our network and partnerships to have deep impact in our communities. We’ve refined the Valley Leadership mission (what we do), vision (what we want to see for Arizona) and values (who we are) statements. These statements are incredibly important as they form the basis for all we do (or don’t do). We’ll be strategic, collaborative and, most importantly, intentional about the ways we can make a difference. I hope you can commit today to being part of the transformation. This is just the beginning. Valley Leadership cannot do it alone — we’ll all need to work together to move forward, learn from history, stand up for what’s right, lead others to do the same, and prioritize and commit to what we want for the Valley, and for Arizona. Thank you, Dave Brown WELCOME
