On behalf of the Greater Maricopa Business Alliance, I am pleased to share important updates to our Board of Directors and Executive Leadership as we continue to grow and evolve in service to our business community.

Please join me in welcoming Ari Gualajara of A&E Construction and Sally Headlee of Roof Geeks to our Board of Directors. We are excited to welcome their expertise, perspective, and commitment to strengthening our local business environment, and we look forward to the insight and leadership they will bring to GMBA.

At the same time, we extend our sincere gratitude to Shannon Kleinjans of Actually Social and Lindsay Harvey of LitTLE 6 Industries for their dedicated service. Their contributions have played a meaningful role in guiding the organization through a period of growth, transition, and positive change. We are thankful for the time, energy, and passion they invested in supporting our business community.

We are also proud to introduce our Executive Committee for the upcoming term:

• Chairman: Leslie McCloskey, McCloskey Auto Glass
• Vice Chair: Jim Behrens, Kramer Media
• Secretary: Beth Huerta, Global Water
• Treasurer: Stephanie Bores, Orbitel Communication
• 
  

This leadership team represents a strong cross-section of industries and experience, and they are well-positioned to guide GMBA as we continue building business, impact, and opportunity across our region.

Thank you for your continued support and engagement. We look forward to an exciting year ahead and to working together to advance the interests of our business community.

Warm regards,
Kelly Anderson
