Greater Phoenix Leadership (GPL), comprised of the region’s leading CEOs, joins the public calls for dialogue, meaningful reform and change across our state and nation related to racism and racial inequity. It is time to be clear, as business and community leaders, regarding our individual and organizational commitments to leading the dismantlement of systemic racism.
Speaking out about fundamental opposition to racism and bigotry is critically important and a protected American right, even amid a global pandemic utilizing physical distancing. It is incumbent upon Arizona’s CEO community to focus on these issues, and we are committed to doing so.
GPL will actively seek and lead opportunities to engage, listen, ask questions, learn, and work diligently so that we may take meaningful action.
Within our new strategic plan, a formal committee will be established to ensure these issues are included among our top priorities long into the future. Working, partnering and collaborating together, we will create a more prosperous, equal, and fair state and nation.
