Nearly 160 guests had opportunities to learn, think, network, be inspired and dine Thursday, when your Chamber hosted its second annual Oro Valley

Business Summit at the Westward Look Wyndham Grand Resort and Spa.

The crowd was double that of a year ago.

Guests heard from:

Tucson Federal Credit Union President / CEO Matthew Gaspari, Executive Vice President and CFO Stacey Wilkerson, and Chief Operating Officer Krystal

Adams, who talked about business financial sustainability and the importance of relationships with your credit union or bank;

Good News Communications President Mary Martin and Vice President Bekah Collins, who explained some of the many media out there, those which

might fit a particular business need, and gave guests questions to help them identify who they are, and what they need;

Three Buckets Wealth Management leader Ryan Lambert, who challenged his guests to “think about what they think about” and better management their

time, energy and focus.

At a rooftop lunch, Oro Valley Mayor Joe Winfield thanked the group for being in the community. He expressed his appreciation for the Chamber (he’s a

dues-paying member); “I truly believe it’s that partnership that makes a difference;” and spoke about the ways Oro Valley works to help business.

“We want to be a place where businesses thrive and do well,” the mayor said. “We will continue to do all we can to support you.”

Last, and very much not least, Major Gen. (retd.) Ted Maxwell (pictured above), an Oro Valley resident and the president and CEO of the Southern Arizona 

Leadership Council, encouraged everyone in the room to be leaders.

“True leaders are going to get followed no matter where they sit in an organization,” Maxwell said.
