About the Foundation
The Gilbert Chamber of Commerce Foundation was established in 2016 and is dedicated to advancing the quality of life in Gilbert through education, leadership, and community enhancement.
As chair of the Foundation, I have found the collaborative spirit of this community is what makes Gilbert great. The Foundation is committed to strengthening partnerships to ensure we have developed leaders to take us into the future, prepared a qualified workforce for the jobs of tomorrow, and provided assistance to the under-served population of this community. Together we can make a difference, I ask you to join our efforts. Foundation Board ChairFoundation Board

Founded in 1991, Gilbert Leadership brings together individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences to develop their leadership potential and to expose participants to the issues impacting our community. By understanding the needs and concerns in a wide variety of areas, these individuals will be better able to contribute their resources to making a difference in many ways.
