Life-long leadership fueling long-term impact on Arizona’s most pressing issues.
Leading AZ
Impact Maker is powered by Arizonans like you. Get to know our Impact Teams and the people leading the work through Impact Maker.
We believe that leadership is action.
Valley Leadership™ (VL™) launched Impact Maker™ as a collaborative space to solve challenges together. As part of Impact Maker™, our leaders roll up their sleeves and get to work right away – drawing on the Principles of Doing® leadership framework, values, skills and perspective gained from their VL™ experience.
Joined with strategic partners and community champions, they’re able to chart a path toward thoughtful, strategic solutions on the issues that matter most to Arizona.
