Letter from the Chamber President & CEO

CONNECT, IMPACT AND ENSURE PROPERITY by Robert Heidt, President & CEO, Glendale Chamber of Commerce

t is my pleasure to introduce you and/or your business to our community. As the President & CEO of the Glendale Chamber of Commerce it is my commitment to you to ensure that economic prosperity remains a top priority in the City of Glendale. The Glendale Chamber has worked diligently to form relationships with civic and business leaders in our community. This has resulted in a cohesive partnership that has allowed us to build a strong and vibrant city, where old and new businesses prosper. As we work to achieve our vision “for Glendale to have a prosperous business community” and become a more traveled destination, we know we cannot do it alone. The Glendale Chamber works closely with the Office of the Mayor, City Council, City Manager and the

Groundbreaking Event with Swire Coca-Cola Glendale, AZ

Department of Economic Development to strategize ways to grow our community. As Glendale continues to grow and expand its footprint in the West Valley, being a community where residents can live, work and play has become a top priority. Recently, we embarked on a trip to Washington, D.C. to allow our city’s voice to be heard on a national level. The Glendale Chamber has also teamed up with the West Valley Chambers of Commerce Alliance to partner with Fennemore Craig, a leading Mountain West regional law firm, to represent the collective interests of businesses in the West Valley on public policy issues at a statewide level. You can read more about both initiatives within this edition of Glendale LIVING. The Glendale Chamber is one of

the largest chambers in the state of Arizona and is the largest business organization in the West Valley representing over 1,300 members. We aim to connect, impact and ensure prosperity in all that we do. As a member-based organization we rely on member investments to accomplish our program of work. When you invest in the Chamber you are not only investing in your business and network opportunities, but you are investing in political and legislative advocacy, economic development and a positive business climate. Your investment allows you to enjoy a high quality of life in our city. If you are interested in learning more about the Glendale Chamber, I encourage you to visit glendaleazchamber.org or reach out to me directly at 623-937-4754.

Sincerely,

Robert W. Heidt, Jr. President & CEO Glendale Chamber of Commerce

THIS BUSINESSWOMAN STEERS STUDENTS INTO SUCCESS IN THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD

by Jerry Weiers, Mayor, City of Glendale

W “I love that our students are so well supported in their programs. Everywhere they turn is someone who wants them to succeed. Whether it’s their teacher or adviser or me and my staff. We are all intertwined supporting their successes.” — Renee ArellanoJones, Director of Career Services for Arizona Automotive Institute (AAI) 12

GLENDA LE LI V ING

ith this edition’s focus on Women in Business and Education I didn’t have to look far in Glendale for a person to highlight. Renee Arellano-Jones is the Director of Career Services for Arizona Automotive Institute (AAI), a local educational institution that does a lot more than provide the vocational training and skills to fix cars. The twinkle in her eye and enthusiasm for both her job and her students’ accomplishments is apparent in every conversation with her. Renee has been with AAI for over 14 years as the Director of Career Services and has loved every minute of it. Her job is to support and motivate students while they are attending classes, as well as help them prepare to find a job when they complete their program. AAI has been in the current Glendale location, 6829 N. 46th Ave., for over 50 years. The biggest misconception about the trade school is that it only offers students an automotive program. It actually offers students four vocational programs including: combination welding; diesel-heavy truck; automotive technology; and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC). The school programs run 10 to 13 months, and at any given time AAI tends to have a student body of approximately 500. Renee’s humble nature is only challenged when she describes the success stories of so many of the graduating students who carry amazing stories of rebirth after completing a certificate program at AAI. Their success allowed them to change the trajection of their lives by providing a successful income to support their families, as well as addressing personal confidence issues. She relishes helping change peoples lives for better while providing them the support and confidence to be successful in their program. In a recent interview with Renee, she highlighted how in recent years there has been an uptick in women obtaining diplomas at the school. The overall student population has seen a consistent 7% increase of

enrolled women. This, combined with many employers looking to shake up their employee pool with more diversity, allows AAI to meet the needs of employers. Renee proudly explains how outcomes-based and data-driven AAI is. Everyone on the campus wants their graduates to succeed, get out into the field of choice and dominate, and to do that AAI ensures each receives core competency hands-on instruction, as well as career readiness including help with job applications, resumes and interview skills. AAI prides itself with being competitive in its field while maintaining its Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC) accreditation. When asked what she loves most about her job, Renee explains that the success stories are a huge part, but more important is the intertwined relationships and team environment between the students and her amazing staff to help the students’ educational journey be successful. “I love that our students are so well supported in their programs. Everywhere they turn is someone who wants them to succeed. Whether it’s their teacher or adviser or me and my staff. We are all intertwined supporting their successes.” AAI is a proud member of the Glendale Chamber of Commerce and proud active community member in Glendale. THE EDUCATION EDITION • FALL 2019

EMPOWERING WOMEN LEADERS TO BE THEIR AUTHENTIC SELVES

by Kevin Phelps, City Manager, City of Glendale

he tables were turned when I was a panelist at the 2019 Arizona Women Leading Government conference. The session was titled “What We Can Teach Men,” and attendees weren’t there for my thoughts about how to break the “glass ceiling” preventing them from reaching the top positions. The all-male panel was there to ask questions, listen and learn. It was not surprising attendees unanimously said they want a safe environment where they can contribute and grow. It was surprising how different their experiences have been with men in the workplace. I was also struck by how strongly they feel about any pressure to follow stereotypes regarding what leadership style makes the best choice to successfully lead a

FALL 2019 • THE EDUCATION EDITION

team. They don’t want to have to “act more male” to get ahead and aren’t even sure what that means. They stressed wanting to be recognized as competent and appreciated for being their authentic selves. I couldn’t agree more that different leadership approaches bring strength to an organization. I’d like to think that most people do see men and women as equally capable when it comes to some of the key qualities and behaviors essential to be leaders in politics and business. Yet women still make up a very small share of top leadership jobs in both realms. This year, I achieved a more gender-balanced team in the city manager’s office when I appointed Vicki Rios to be one of Glendale’s two assistant city managers. It’s a senior leadership

position previously held by a man. Vicki overwhelmingly earned her promotion — but for me, there’s more than that. When I became city manager four years ago, I looked around and saw mostly white, male leaders who looked like me. I made inclusion and diversity at the executive management level a goal and put deliberate strategies in place. What I really want is a variety of perspectives and that includes gender, ethnicity and age. Since then, there have been several women who have earned promotions as leaders, including our director of field operations and director of community services. When we respectfully come together, we learn so much from each other. Our experiences help shape the way we see the world. Through those experiences, women bring a certain perspective, and by sharing that perspective, it can help galvanize a team with making good decisions. We need to continue to assess the needs of what future leaders look like and help them be their authentic selves — not taking a “one-size-fits-all” approach. I’m excited to get to the point in our culture when we hire a key person in leadership and the gender, ethnicity or age of that leader goes unnoticed.

When I became city manager four years ago, I looked around and saw mostly white, male leaders who looked like me. I made inclusion and diversity at the executive management level a goal and put deliberate strategies in place.

IF YOU TEACH IT, THEY WILL LISTEN by Ashley Losch, Firefighter-Paramedic/PIO, Glendale Fire Department

“… when I see that students really understand the skills that I am teaching and are able to successfully model those skills. The pride on the students’ faces as they model the life-saving skills is priceless.”

GLENDA LE LI V ING

magine your lesson for the day starts with a shiny yellow fire truck pulling up in front of your school and four firefighters step off the truck to be your teachers. That happens almost daily at schools across the City of Glendale. What a change from long ago when teaching and learning were typically done solely in the classroom. Students sat at their desks looking up at a chalkboard while the teacher gave them their lesson. Today teaching and learning have taken on a whole new meaning with the invention of smart boards and computers. Kids are learning in an entirely new way. As firefighters, we are given the opportunity to spread safety messages everywhere we go. We find ourselves working as fire pals in elementary schools. This is where a firefighter goes into a classroom and teaches children various things about safety. Lessons like stop, drop, roll and cover your face have become some of the most well-known messages out there. Those messages started in a classroom. We also go out into the community for block watch meetings, block parties, water safety talks and CPR classes. The list truly is endless.

Teaching and prevention are some of the most important things we can do to keep our community safe. The Glendale Fire Department has always had the highest level of commitment to safety. We even have our very own public educator on staff to make sure the educational needs of the public are met. Meet Dr. Janet Boberg. Boberg holds numerous degrees including a bachelors in sociology, a masters in educational administration, a masters in counseling and a doctorate in educational leadership with an emphasis in research and evaluation. Along with her impressive educational background, she brings more than 30 years of teaching experience with her. She has worked for the Glendale Fire Department since 2007.

In that time, she has run the Youth Firesetters Intervention Program, the Teen CERT Program and taught countless CPR and safety classes. Boberg’s accomplishments are a mile long and she has certainly had an impact on the Glendale community. When asked what her favorite moment of being an educator for the Glendale Fire Department is, she said, “… when I see that students really understand the skills that I am teaching and are able to successfully model those skills. The pride on the students’ faces as they model the life-saving skills is priceless.” It is impossible to know how many people we have helped or reached over the years as we spread the message of safety with our community. It is also impossible to say if lives were saved. What we do know is we will forever take the opportunity to share life-saving information with anyone who will listen, and we will continue to do everything we can to keep children safe.

Please remember to watch your kids around water. Drownings are preventable. THE EDUCATION EDITION • FALL 2019

EDUCATING YOU. EMPOWERING YOU. by Jennifer Suftko, Glendale Police Department’s Victim Assistance Unit, Glendale Family Advocacy Center

n the heart of Downtown Glendale is an unassuming building housing multidisciplines of professionals. The building is not intended to be flashy nor bold, as those who walk through these doors are not seeking the spotlight. Rather, it’s a building where victims of crime may enter with fear, anxiety and confusion – often on the worst day of their lives. Such a day in which they have experienced their most traumatic event or will have to recount the memories of such moments. The dedicated staff of the Glendale Family Advocacy Center is there for one reason; to be present and available for those in need. Within the center, are a number of disciplines and services designed to address various criminal matters surrounding family violence, missing persons, human trafficking, child crimes and adult sex crimes. The families, individuals and victims involved in such matters have the potential of being affected on such a deeply emotional level that specially trained personnel housed at the center is needed to help guide and maneuver them through their personal journeys. It takes a certain type of individual to perform the duties asked of the staff at the Advocacy Center. On

FALL 2019 • THE EDUCATION EDITION

any given day, you will find Glendale Police detectives, victim advocates, multidisciplinary partners, volunteers and even our very own emotional support dog, Oliver. All are dedicated to providing the level of compassion and professionalism members of our community deserve. Rachael Bousman, Lieutenant over the Special Victim’s Unit at the center, shares: “The Advocacy Center is a place where I want victims to feel safe and confident.” Statistically speaking, women and children are the primary demographic seen at the center as crime victims. Given the gender and age of these victims, combined with the sensitive nature of their case, female advocates and detectives often are successful at establishing a rapport. Whether it is the detective assigned to the investigation, the advocate who walks the traumatic case with the family, the forensic interviewer who aids in the victims’ recollection of the crime, or the trauma therapist who guides them through the healing process, these women are educated and trained to not only accommodate the needs in their specific arena, but to also collaborate to ensure the victim has a team utilizing the strengths of one another. Through ongoing training, community outreach and education, the women who implement the services offered by the Advocacy Center ensure our victims are being provided not only their mandated victim rights but also treated with dignity and care. It is our hope that beyond our center doors, our victims leave us with a bit more strength and courage.

his is the most common question asked to economic development teams all over the country. The expected short answer is: “Right here in our City” or “Here in our City and its surrounding areas.” But the process of having a job-ready workforce begins years and years ahead of when the: “Where’s my workforce?” question comes up. Developing our workforce must be a conscious effort beginning at the elementary school level and carrying through to high school, then to the colleges and universities. The latter must think even further ahead and educate for the jobs of the future. How many jobs can you think of that didn’t exist 15 to 20 years ago? Cyber security expert, social-media manager, YouTubers, digital marketer, drone pilot, application developer, etc. In addition to the workforce question, one of the most important assets any business is looking for in a specific community is quality education. This is important to employees as they come to a new area where they plan to raise their families.

Quality education can also enhance an existing community and provide better opportunities for children living in low-income areas. Downtown Glendale serves as an excellent example. This year the Academy of Math and Science opened its doors at 43rd and Glendale avenues. The 84,000-squarefoot facility will house up to 1,400 students each school year. Providing opportunities for better education in underserved areas in our community, will grant students a chance to better their lives long term. Workforce development starts with early childhood development. Investing in early childhood education will ensure we have the proven skilled workforce we need in the future. And our business prospects today are taking note of where to find the workforce of tomorrow. Skill formation is dynamic and is developed over time. This edition of Glendale Living focuses on education and women in business. The Academy of Math and Science crosses both themes. Back in 2004, AMS

by Randy Huggins, Economic Development Officer, Glendale Office of Economic Development Co-Founder Tatyana Chayka was in search of a school for her son. She couldn’t find the level of education she wanted for him so she decided to start her own school. The decision to take matters into her own hands led to growth and opportunity for thousands of students across Arizona; the academy now has seven campuses. Downtown Glendale has long needed a facility such as this. AMS believes that smart students are well-rounded. AMS students consistently perform well above average in state exams. A balanced education that includes STEM, technology, foreign languages (Russian and Mandarin), music (piano, guitar, choir and theory), art and character development is offered. For years to come the Academy of Math and Science in Glendale will provide residents in the area with new opportunities that otherwise would have been out of their reach. We are looking forward to the years ahead and the results of the valiant effort started by the Chayka family. The City of Glendale welcomes the workforce of the future.

JUDGE REVEALS COMMON MISTAKES MADE BY SMALL BUSINESSES by Judge Gerald A. Williams, Justice of the Peace, North Valley Justice Court

L The reason we have written contracts is so that both sides, at least in theory, understand the complete terms of the agreement.

egal advice, like medical advice, is often preventive. Frequently the best recommendation is some variation of, “Don’t do that.” It is, however, worth sharing the most common mistakes I see business litigants make in the courtroom. Unfortunately, they can turn clear victories into immediate defeats. First Mistake: Not showing up. Almost always, bad things will happen if you ignore or miss your court date. If you are being sued, a judgment can be entered against you. If you brought the case, the lawsuit can be dismissed, and you may need to start over again. Second Mistake: Not responding to a garnishment. Garnishment forms can look intimidating, but do not set them aside as something to do later. If your business is served with a Writ of Garnishment and a Summons, you only have 10 days to file your response, which is called the Garnishee’s Answer. In the Garnishee’s Answer, employers must state whether the judgment debtor works for them and if so, whether they will be paying the judgment debtor within the next 60 days.

GLENDA G LENDALE LE LI LIV VING ING • BIZ!

If so, then the employer must start withholding nonexempt earnings from their employee’s salary. The next form an employer must complete is called the Garnishee’s Nonexempt Earnings Statement. This shows the amount of pay that will actually be withheld. However, do not forward any withheld funds to the judgment creditor (the plaintiff in the lawsuit) until you receive a court order, called an Order of Continuing Lien, telling you to do so. Garnishments can be complicated, but businesses who follow the instructions should be fine. The penalty for not responding to a garnishment is that a court can order the business to pay the amount of their employee’s judgment. This can obviously be devastating to a small business. Third Mistake: Believing that a verbal promise modifies a written contract. The reason we have written contracts is so that both sides, at least in theory, understand the complete terms of the agreement. Under a legal doctrine called the “parol evidence rule,” if the actual language of the contract is clear, then any oral modifications to it are not binding. In

fact, testimony about any verbal side agreements cannot even be admitted as evidence at trial. There are some exceptions to this general rule, but the best practice for any agreement you want to enforce is to put all of it in writing. Fourth Mistake: Contracting without a license: Performing work that requires a contractor’s license when you don’t have one is not just a bad idea, it is also a crime. Also, under Arizona law, a contractor must have a license before he or she can bring a lawsuit for breach of contract if the homeowner did not pay them. Almost any business that builds, alters, repairs, adds to, or subtracts from any building, highway, road or excavation must have a contractor’s license. There are also separate licenses for commercial and for residential work. If you need one, get one. Judge Gerald A. Williams is the Justice of the Peace for the North Valley Justice Court. His jurisdiction includes part of Glendale. He is active in the community through the First United Methodist Church in Glendale and through Glendale American Legion Post No. 29.

ARROWHEAD TOWNE CENTER IN STEP WITH THRIVING WEST VALLEY

rrowhead Towne Center has long served as the market-dominant r e g i on a l sh oppi n g center for the West Valley. The 1.2 million square-foot property offers top national brands, great family dining options and entertainment attractions, plus a year-long calendar of family-friendly events and amenities. Set in Glendale, Arrowhead Towne Center continues to evolve in step with the region’s families, new corporate campuses, hotels and major sports venues.

Top Shopping at Arrowhead Towne Center With notable brands ranging from Apple, H&M, M.A.C and Sephora to DICK’s Sporting Goods, Macy’s, Dillard’s, JCPenney and a 14-screen AMC Theatres, and brand new pop-ups Abercrombie Kids and Lululemon.

of great stores and things to do. This Glendale property, in fact, is benefiting from some of the trends affecting retail and shopping centers overall. As some retailers fine-tune their list of store locations, they continue to choose high-quality, class A properties, including Macerich’s Arrowhead Towne Center. Notably, across Macerich’s portfolio around the country, occupancy is up from a year ago to nearly 95% - an enviable number in any market or any economic cycle. What set the stage for Arrowhead’s continuing role as the market-dominant regional center was a thorough refresh in 2015 that updated the interior and exterior and added 22+ new and renovated stores, as well as new technology, refined seating areas, a renovated amphitheater and a larger community room. (This 1,000 square foot-space is available for businesses to host meetings, hiring events and more.) Owner investments in this high-performing property are

in line with retailer investments – including Macy’s, which selected its Arrowhead Towne Center store as one of just 50 in the country that has undergone significant upgrades.

More Can’t-Miss Experiences Shoppers today are seeking more than just retail – they are looking for unique experiences they can’t find anywhere else.

With the holidays on the horizon, Arrowhead Towne Center is getting ready for its annual holiday events including the Holiday Showcase and Jingle Jam. These events, in addition to visits and photos with Santa, make this shopping center a major focus for holiday fun. All year round, in-person art experiences at Arrowhead Towne Center are an ongoing draw. Right now, Kelsey Montague’s “What Lifts You” mural is creating a special opportunity for shoppers to engage and share on social media. As well, partnerships with local organizations including Catitude Arts and Young Arts Arizona consistently introduce fresh art installations. Free summer concerts on the lawn, Kids Club and more add to the center’s year-round connection to the community. Just like the West Valley itself, Arrowhead Towne Center is always changing to anticipate the needs and interests of the people who live, work, play and stay in this dynamic region.

For Earth Day this past April, employees and their families collected paper goods, batteries and lightbulbs to be properly recycled. This was a company-sponsored activity to educate

our employees and their families about the importance of recycling and protecting our environment. The facility maintains a robust veterans employee group, C-Vets. In April our C-Vets group held its annual charity golf tournament, with the $1,910 in proceeds going to Soldier’s Best Friend. This veterans’ group provides U.S. military veterans living with combat-related Post Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD) or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) with service or therapeutic companion dogs. Many of these service animals come from shelters in the greater Phoenix area and are trained locally. Corning Optical Communications RF LLC is headquartered in Glendale, AZ, at 5310 W.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEMBERSHIP A GREAT BUSINESS INVESTMENT A company highly involved with its local chamber sees that consumers are 10% more likely to think that its products stack up better against its competition, and 19% are more likely to think favorably of the company in general.

he great economic engine that is Arizona keeps churning every day, and because of the businesses fueling it we as Arizonans enjoy great places to live, work and play. One key component of that engine is the Glendale Chamber of Commerce. While often behind the scenes, the work of the Glendale Chamber helps support and create an environment in which businesses can thrive. Beyond the work of the chamber, however, there are incredible business benefits and a great business case for your investment in the Glendale Chamber. In the past, chambers have been viewed by some as socializing bodies where business people come together to network. Although still a valuable networking venue, today’s chamber is much more. In every arena from business advocacy to economic and community development to education and workforce development, chambers fight for business interest to ensure there is an environment in which they can prosper. A little-known fact, however, is the impact local chambers have on “the business side of business.” Among these positive impacts are increased consumer confidence and patronage, both critical to business success. The Shapiro Group, an Atlanta-based research firm, surveyed a large group of Americans and found that investment in chamber membership causes consumers to see a business in a more positive light and increases the likelihood they will shop or purchase services from chamber businesses. Although these figures vary slightly depending on the size of an organization and industry sector, the fact remains businesses that are members of the local chamber garner greater consumer credibility, trust and loyalty than those not affiliated with the local chamber of commerce. Taking this notion a step further,

GLENDA G LENDALE LE LI LIV VING ING • BIZ!

the study found that the greater the level of involvement of the company in its local chamber (i.e. serving on the board, sponsoring events, etc.) the greater the benefits. A company highly involved with its local chamber sees that consumers are 10% more likely to think that its products stack up better against its competition, and 19% are more likely to think favorably of the company in general. The Shapiro study revealed a distinct correlation between chamber membership and a company’s bottom line. Whether in the area of patronage frequency, favorability or purchase intent, consumers lean heavily toward involved chamber members. Let’s look at a snapshot of the results. Relative to working with chamber members, consumers state they are: • 36% more likely to think favorably about insurance companies • 49% more likely to think favorably about a small business, and 80% more likely to purchase goods or ser vices from the company in the future • 68% more likely to eat at a franchise restaurant Small business is the back bone of America and the bulk of chamber memberships. The results for this segment are particularly striking. If a person knows a small business is a member of the local chamber, the business will see a 49% increase in

consumer favorability ratings, a 51% increase in consumer awareness, and an 80% increase in the likelihood of patronage. There are two keys to receiving the benefits of local chamber membership. First, a business has to be a member. Second, businesses must work internally and with the local chamber to make customers and potential customers aware of their affiliation. This means be active, be visible and proudly display your membership in the local chamber of commerce. Businesses large and small are always on the watch to ensure they are investing wisely and engaging in organizations and activities that are productive and yield good return. In short, membership in the local chamber of commerce is not a luxury item, it is an absolute necessity for all businesses seeking to navigate highly competitive marketplaces and sometimes difficult economic waters. Chamber membership gives business a competitive edge to their daily work. The Glendale Chamber of Commerce is one of the largest chambers in Arizona and the largest business organization in the West Valley. We invite you to get connected. Visit us at glendaleazchamber.org for more information on the many benefits we can offer you and your business, or contact Robert Heidt, President and CEO, at rheidt@glendaleazchamber. org or by phone a 623-937-4754.

CLEARING UP 6 MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT CHAMBERS

hamber membership is good for business because it influences the community’s perception of you. However, many business owners don’t know exactly what the chamber does and so they don’t take advantage of the help and resources it offers. For a minimum investment, the chamber can help your business grow in ways that may be difficult for you to do on your own. But if you believe these popular chamber misconceptions you’ve likely put off joining, and that could hurt your business.

1. Membership Costs a Lot of Money Each chamber prices their offerings differently. Some use a tiered-pricing structure based on the activities and interests you have. With tiers you are mainly paying for the services you use. Other chambers price their offerings based on the size of your company, giving breaks to smaller companies and expecting larger, megabrands to contribute more because they have more employees participating in the chamber activities and using their resources.

2. Membership Is Just for the Owner One of the most popular misconceptions is that only the person signing the dues check is allowed to participate. This is generally not the case. There’s a lot to be gained from membership for all employees. A company can use chamber learning resources to educate its employees on timely topics like social media and multigenerational communications. Using services for one employee or 20 doesn’t cost the company more money. In fact, even under a fair-share pricing structure based on number of employees, the company is paying the same price regardless who uses the chamber’s services.

3. The Chamber Is Boring and Old Many people wrongly see the chamber as something their parents or grandparents belonged to but one that doesn’t hold any interest for them. If you feel that way, you may not realize what today’s chambers do. Many of them have young professionals’ groups that help with mentoring and feedback, as well as professional development that most employers don’t have time for these days. Some chambers host “Taste Of” events, business expos, wellness seminars and a myriad of other activities pertinent to all ages and interests.

4. They’re Part of the Government The chamber is not a government entity or agency. While some may get grants from government organizations for specific projects they’re working on (like a downtown beautification project), they are not linked to government funding. They are, however, uniquely situated with contacts in the private and public sectors that allow them to act as a connector for the community.

them grow their business because it’s not a retail space on Main Street. The chamber does a lot more than that and is very knowledgeable about what it takes to improve a business in today’s challenging markets. If, for some reason, they don’t have the knowledge about your particular business-growth struggles, they are well-situated to put you in touch with others who can help.

6. They Are Just Concerned with the City Chambers are advocates for business, all kinds of business. Yes, the community is a large part of what they do, but they also advocate on a state and national level. Many chambers offer overseas trips to introduce and strengthen relationships between local business people and their counterparts in other countries. Don’t let a misperception about the chamber keep your business from growing. Get to know all the ways it can help. Even if you’ve been a chamber member for a long time, it’s always beneficial to talk with someone periodically to ensure you’re using the chamber-member benefits to the fullest. The chamber is always willing to help.

5. They Don’t Know Anything about Your Business Many of today’s entrepreneurs think the chamber wouldn’t have any idea how to help

CHAMBER ALLIANCE PROMOTES WEST VALLEY BUSINESS INTEREST TO STATE LEGISLATORS by Alexis J. Glascock, Attorney, Fennemore Craig

he West Valley is growing exponentially! As the government relations attorney representing the West Valley Chambers of Commerce Alliance (WVCCA), it is very exciting to watch this organization’s tremendous impact on the future of business development in the Valley. This past year was marked by a number of businesses that moved to the West Valley. These included the purchase of Westgate by BIG YAM and the nearby construction of several new hotels, restaurants and retail stores, the opening of Microsoft’s new data resource center, and Swire Coca-Cola’s launch of a new manufacturing facility to produce Red Bull, among other companies moving to the West Valley. This past year I had the privilege of advocating for the six West Valley Chambers of Commerce as they created a strong united voice at the Capitol. These chambers of commerce include Buckeye, Glendale, Peoria, Southwest Regional (Litchfield Park, Goodyear, Avondale and Tolleson), Surprise Regional (Sun City, Sun City West, El Mirage and Youngstown), and Wickenburg. Prior to the beginning of the legislative session, I arranged meetings with CEO of the Glendale Chamber of Commerce Robert Heidt and both the President of the Arizona Senate, Karen Fann, and the Speaker of the House,

GLENDA G LENDALE LE LI LIV VING ING • BIZ!

Rusty Bowers. At these meetings, both President Fann and Speaker Bowers mentioned they were very pleased to have the insight of the WVCCA on important business issues affecting the West Valley and the state. Together this past legislative session, the WVCCA worked hard to support pro-business legislation, such as the Drought Contingency Plan, increasing funds for education from kindergarten through technical training, community college and the university level, capturing sales tax revenue for out-of-state online retail sales, new anti-fraud measures in initiative petition signature-gathering process, improving access to health care insurance plans for small businesses and numerous other issues that directly impact the business community. In addition, the WVCCA is continuing to work closely with the West Valley legislators during the interim before the next legislative

session to facilitate the creation of legislation that will advance business interests in economic development, education and workforce readiness, transportation, taxation and other issues that strongly impact businesses in the West Valley communities. Moreover, both the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce sought the support of the WVCCA on various matters throughout the Legislative Session. We look forward to partnering with them again on various pro-business issues in the next Legislative Session. Overall, working with the WVCCA CEOs is an honor and a privilege. They are an ideal client because they are extremely knowledgeable and understand what it takes for businesses to thrive in their cities. We are looking forward to working together again on important legislative issues during the 2020 Legislative Session.

HARVEST COMPASSION CENTERS IMPACT DAILY LIVES OF THOSE IN NEED

or 23 years, Mitch etched memories into the hearts of everyone he met. He was as real as they come. Mitch lived life to the max. He was a born leader, never afraid of a challenge, and always ready to go first. There was no in between with Mitch. His passion and will to win always pushed him to finish first. Mitch was never short of enthusiasm, energy and strength. Underneath the rough and tough exterior beat the heart of compassion and love for others no one will ever forget. On Aug. 14, 2004, Mitch died in a drowning accident. At his wake, his family had the opportunity to meet hundreds of people who experienced his energy and excitement. After hearing from the hundreds who Mitch touched so deeply while on earth, his family knew they must carry on his legacy of serving others, and immediately Mitchell Swaback Charities (MSC), Inc., which fully funds Harvest Compassion Centers, was born. MSC, Inc. launched Harvest Compassion Centers eight years ago as a direct response

to the recession. MSC, Inc. wanted to make impact daily, serve locally and truly love others as Mitch had. Our mission is to provide food and clothing in a hope-filled environment to the underserved in the greater Phoenix area. Harvest Compassion Centers around the Valley are one-stop shopping experiences for families and individuals in need. HCC welcomes all to shop for free food, hygiene, baby and clothing items once every 30 days. More than 1,300 volunteers run each HCC location annually. Harvest Compassion Centers have fed, clothed and served over 100,000 people since opening and now has three Valley locations (North Phoenix, Maryvale and Chandler). There are no restrictions on HCC clients and no appointment necessary. Everyone is welcome to attend a monthly shopping trip where they can choose grocery, home and clothing items. No items are ever preboxed or bagged for HCC clients; it feels like a normal shopping mini-mart and clothing boutique. Every piece of clothing donated to the HCC is sorted, laundered and ironed ensuring that quality pieces are being presented to the public. “We want each person who visits us to feel completely dignified when they shop from us, so it is so important to have quality items and offer a normal shopping experience,” says Executive Director Nicolee Thompson. “There is also a kid play corner for kids to play and read while mom and dad shop.” “Seeing a smile appear on every kid who walks into an HCC is such an honor,” she says. “We provide the physical items that families need so they can pay their rent and utilities. Kids in Arizona at the very least deserve a home and three meals a day, however when families visit HCC, they also receive the hope they need to get back on their feet.”

How can you give back this fall?

Volunteer: The HCC is donation-based and volunteer-run center, making it impossible 30

GLENDA LE LI V ING

to run without our faithful volunteers. As a volunteer, you’ll be sorting donations, stocking shelves and shopping with our guests. We do ask that all volunteers be 13 or older. We invite volunteer families with younger children if they are supervised by a parent Host a Food Drive: The Harvest Compassion Center depends on local schools, churches, businesses and community groups to host individual food and hygiene drives to keep our shelves well stocked. Whether you’re a Boy Scout, branch manager or head pastor we encourage everyone to be creative and host your own food drive benefiting the HCC. During the holiday season, HCC also collects new toys to hand out in December. Join HCC’s Kids Program: Serving SPROUTS is a fun, community-service program aimed for kids. Whether your children are 2 or 18, we want you to become a Serving SPROUT! Each SPROUT will dream up little and big ways of earning $28 a month to feed families in our community. Yes, it only costs HCC $28 a month to feed one family. This program is designed to walk alongside moms and dads teaching our younger generation the importance in serving, community and giving. Donate: Harvest Compassion Centers are funded 100% by the generosity of others, HCCs accept no government funding and/or product. Please consider donating today and feed a family. All gifts made to Harvest Compassion Centers qualify for the AZ Tax Credit. For information on volunteering, hosting a food drive and/or donating please visit harvestcompassioncenter.org.

In 2003 when Gila River Arena opened, Evans joined the staff as a member of the hourly event security team, working concerts, family shows and hockey games. Over the years, she continued to demonstrate outstanding leadership in addressing safety and security issues, which propelled her to her current role as head of security at Gila River Arena. Security enhancements Evans has been able to implement include: adding more than 201 security vantage points throughout the venue through the instillation of new cameras and installing new fencing around previously exposed areas; working tirelessly not only with the Arizona Coyotes organization but all businesses adjacent to the arena to provide clear and consistent security procedure and prohibited-items messaging to fans; and making it safer for law enforcement to attend events in civilian clothing. Specific to NHL game nights, Evans has overseen enforcing mandatory player and family screening upon entry to the building, manning all stairwells with security staff from the time the building opens, rescreening all guests who come back in from smoking patios, increasing security

She has worked to develop a team of 200 full and part-time employees that exceed the requirements of traditional venue security staff to create a safe and enjoyable environment for employees, fans, artists and athletes. A leader in the industry, Evans, along with six additional sports security professionals, recently was recognized for her leadership in addressing safety and security issues as part of the 2019 National Sports Safety and Security Conference. The presentation of the 2019 Professional of the Year Awards to Evans and her peers was sponsored by Axis Communications, a market leader in network solutions providing insights for security, at the 10th annual conference, which was hosted by the National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security (NCS4) at The University of Southern Mississippi. “The reason for the Professional of the Year Award is to allow professional leagues, NCAA member institutions, marathon and interscholastic athletics organizations to honor outstanding individuals in the field of sports safety and security for their contributions and leadership,” said NCS4 Director Dr. Lou Marciani. “These contributions involve enhancing safety and security at their venue beyond what is normally required and setting an example for

others to follow.” The Professional of the Year Award that Evans received recognizes a member of management in the field that has, over the past year, demonstrated outstanding leadership in addressing safety/security issues. In addition to the enhanced safety and security of Gila River Arena, Evans’ contributions have set an example for others to follow. The award recipient is selected by the National Hockey League along with a league official at the National Sports Safety and Security Conference & Exhibition. Marciani noted that each league or organization selects the criteria and makes the determination as to which professional will be recognized.

ABRAZO ARROWHEAD CAMPUS LAUNCHES NEW MEDICAL RESIDENCY PROGRAMS “Through our local physician leadership, Abrazo will have direction over the curriculum and residents’ hands-on training to suit our community’s needs.”

brazo Arrowhead Campus in Glendale is the primary clinical site for new general surgery and internal medicine medical residency programs, which will add to the community’s ability to attract and retain future physicians. The first classes of residents began rotations in July. The new residencies are an expansion of Abrazo Health’s commitment to local medical education. The family medicine residency program at Abrazo Central Campus has been educating primary care physicians for more than 40 years, and many of those physicians continue to serve Valley communities. The addition of internal medicine and general surgery residencies demonstrates Abrazo’s commitment to expanding teaching and research in its hospitals, says Dr. Akil Loli, designated institutional official for graduate medical education with Abrazo Community Health Network. “This represents a watershed moment for Abrazo Community Health Network as we are able to combine patient care in our hospitals with academic achievements,” Dr. Loli says. “Through our local physician leadership, Abrazo

GLENDA G LENDALE LE LI LIV VING ING • YOU!

Dr. Akil Loli will have direction over the curriculum and residents’ hands-on training to suit our community’s needs.” Residents in both specialties will work closely with physicians at Abrazo Arrowhead Campus, Abrazo Arizona Heart Hospital and Abrazo West Campus. Overseeing the internal medicine residency is Dr. Jason Klein, and the program director for the general surgery residency is Dr. William Arnold. “I’m thankful for the leadership of

our Designated Institutional Officer, Dr. Akil Loli, as well as the program directors and the rest of the faculty of the graduate medical education program,” says Abrazo Arrowhead Campus Chief Executive Officer Jeff Patterson. “Through their dedication to teaching and developing the next generation of physicians, we were able to attract a tremendously talented group of physicians in our first year. I believe the educational experience our residents will receive at the Abrazo Community Health Network will continue to draw gifted residents and augment the care provided in our facilities.” Dr. Loli adds, “Our program offers a collaborative clinical environment that will serve as the foundation for building clinical experience and patient advocacy.” Chief Executive Officer of Abrazo Community Health Network Frank Molinaro, says, “Residents will have real-world learning opportunities with renowned cardiac and vascular specialists at Abrazo Arizona Heart Hospital, emergency and trauma training at the Level I Trauma Center at Abrazo West, and with the numerous disciplines offered at Abrazo Arrowhead. We are committed to providing quality care and a safe environment for each of our patients, as well as effective learning opportunities for our residents.” Abrazo Community Health Network includes five acute-care hospitals — Abrazo Arizona Heart Hospital, Abrazo Arrowhead Campus, Abrazo Central Campus, Abrazo Scottsdale Campus and Abrazo West Campus — along with freestanding emergency centers, urgent care centers, primary care and specialty physician practices. Abrazo is building new microhospitals in Surprise and Mesa, which will open over the coming year. For more information, visit AbrazoHealth.com.

WESTGATE CONTINUES TO GROW UNDER YAM LEADERSHIP by Jessica Kubicki, Director of Marketing, YAM Properties

t’s been just over a year since YAM Properties – the real estate investment group of Bob Parsons – took over Westgate Entertainment District. Take it from me, it’s been a busy year full of amazing growth. The district’s development has been centered around a singular goal: create great experiences. Those experiences are offered in terms of exceptional dining, shopping and events as well as business and residential opportunities. As of July 2019, the facility sits at an amazing 93% occupancy rate for both the office and entertainment space – well above the average 87% commercial occupancy rate for the greater Phoenix area. This year, YAM Properties also took over management of The Lofts at Westgate and has leased out more than 80% of the center’s apartment space. We’ve also implemented a validation parking program to essentially offer free parking to guests who visit one of our participating restaurant or retail shops during major events. Below we’ve rounded up more highlights and Westgate information, including some things about the district that may surprise you. Entertainment Westgate is probably best known for our dining, shopping and entertainment offerings. In the past year, we’ve welcomed six new tenants including the recently announced

GLENDA G LENDALE LE LI LIV VING ING • YOU!

Lumberjaxes axe-throwing venue. This is just the latest example of how we are expanding and supporting local and small business owners. While we have some amazing national tenants like AMC, Buffalo Wild Wings and Yard House, more than a dozen of our venues are locally owned. In the past year alone Arizona residents have opened The Lola, Low Key Piano Bar, Escape Westgate and State 48 Funk House Brewery. Our local service/retail partners include Fine Ash Cigars, Bride Studio and Westgate Nails & Spa. Office The business side of Westgate allows us to be a part of the economic growth spurt happening in the West Valley and bring additional job opportunities into the area. Top tenants include Banner Health, DeVry, Lockheed Martin, RING, Terminix and William Ryan Homes. Events If you feel like there is always something going on at Westgate, you are probably right. We host more than 300 events a year. From weekly event series and live music to family fun nights and large signature events, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at the district. We’ve also brought in several Insta-worthy art installations including our summer Umbrella Pop and February’s 700-pound

heart-shaped sculpture. The upcoming fall and winter seasons welcome the return of popular events such as Fitness in the District, Bike Night, Hot Rod Night and plenty of holiday happenings. Don’t miss the annual Halloween festivities, ice-skating rink, nightly snowfall, carriage rides, the Santa Hustle 5K & Half Marathon, free photo opportunities with Santa Claus and rocking New Year’s Eve parties. It’s been an incredible year, and I know there are more exciting things yet to come. For more information, a tenant directory or to see what’s going on at the district visit westgateaz.com.

PENDERGAST PHILOSOPHY:

I can BEE What I want to BEE! by Dr. Lily Matos DeBlieux, Superintendent, Pendergast Elementary School District

have always been known as a “Bee”-liever with my BEE philosophy. The bee, a symbol I wear every day, reminds me that scientists can prove it is aerodynamically impossible for the bumble bee to fly. Its body is too heavy and its wings too light to sustain flight. However, the bumblebee chooses not to be influenced by science’s negative viewpoint and flies anyway. When you look at the bee, think this thought — “I can BEE what I want to BEE!” As an educator and superintendent of the Pendergast District, we embrace this and believe we can and do everything to ensure our 9,500 students on 12 campuses in the cities of Avondale, Glendale and Phoenix receive an outstanding educa-

tional experience. Thanks to the vision, insight and support of our amazing Governing Board members — Susan Serin, President; Hilda Ortega-Rosales, Vice-President; Jose Arenas; Sen. Martin Quezada; and Jete White — we are able to set goals to focus on high achievement for students, a well-trained staff and an engaged community. Our organization is innovative, unique, solution-oriented and spirited. The district is 88% diverse with 80% of the students receiving free or reduced breakfast and lunch. The Board and Administration have set forth collaborative goals through our Strategic Plan with a vision, mission, beliefs and goals to focus on how vital continuous improvement is to student success.

The District is keenly focused on educating the “whole child” through research-based academics, fine arts, physical education, technology, extracurricular programs and a full-time counselor on each campus. Leadership opportunities are encouraged for students at each grade level that include clubs, organizations, student government and community service. The District has signature Science, Technology, Engineering Arts and Math (S.T.E.A.M.) academies throughout our schools that include Dual Language, Ethnic Studies, GCON Design and Build, Computer Science, Agriculture Ecosystems, Energy, Conservation and Efficiency Academies, Orcutt | Winslow Architecture, Planning and Construction Academy, Leadership and Accelerated Math, Banner Children’s Health, Medical, and Forensics Academy, Entrepreneurship, Jeremy Anderson’s Next Level Leadership Academy and others. Leadership and mentoring are a cornerstone of the District and present through the B.E.E.S. Institute (Becoming Extraordinary Effective Stewards) meeting monthly to train a new genera-

tion of leaders. Additionally, Gina Godbehere and I, class members from the Leadership West Class XXII, started the first of its kind Speak Up, Stand Up, Save a Life conference to eradicate bullying and focus on issues such as suicide prevention, depression and other issues plaguing youth today. Five thousand students, staff members, law enforcement personnel, business community members and government officials gathered to learn about and address these critical issues. One hundred fifty-eight schools throughout Arizona attended the conference, and all district leaders were involved in this monumental and vital effort in January 2019. The District is also known for its 8th Grade Superintendent’s Council that mentors and trains youth to be the leaders of tomorrow and focuses on career and college readiness and community service. We welcome our stakeholders to join us in partnership. Please connect with us on our website at pesd92.org, Facebook or Twitter. Pendergast is the District that believes in you!

THE HEART AND SPIRIT KEY TO TWO BANNER THUNDERBIRD CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

wo new, but very different, patient-care areas are coming soon to Banner Thunderbird Medical Center. The first will be a floor for heart patients equipped with ceiling-mounted antennas to enable staff to remotely monitor the heart rhythms of cardiac patients. You’ll find an antenna or two in the second space, as well, but you’re more likely to spot them on the heads of the butterflies and dragonflies fluttering about. More on that in a bit. Progressive Care Unit The new floor for heart patients, called a Progressive Care Unit, will feature 40 all-private rooms for patients who have a history of heart problems and require close heart monitoring. The unit also serves as a stepping stone for patients well enough to leave

the intensive care unit, but who require a higher level of monitoring than what’s provided in the hospital’s medical-surgical units. The project will amount to a $17.5 million investment into the Glendale campus by nonprofit Banner Health, based in Phoenix. When completed, Banner Thunderbird will have 595-licensed beds, making it the third largest hospital in the Valley. “The new floor will allow us to get patients from the emergency room to a patient room more quickly, even during our busiest times,” said Banner Thunderbird CEO Deb Krmpotic. “It’s going to help make health care easier and life better for some of our sickest patients.” The unit will include a lobby, a conference room and a private consultation room for doctors to meet with families. Construction, which began in September, will convert 36,774 square feet of shelled space on the sixth floor of Thunderbird’s South Tower into the new patient unit. “Shelled space” is space constructed to meet future needs; it is space enclosed by an exterior building shell, but otherwise unfinished inside. It’s anticipated the new unit will open to patients next summer. Outdoor Healing Garden The second project coming to Banner Thun-

derbird is a new outdoor activity and therapy garden for pediatric and adult patients. The yet-to-be-named space will feature interactive activities for children, walking paths, vegetation designed to attract butterflies and designated areas for outdoor education and performances. Additionally, the space will include elements that can be used for patient physical therapy. Child Life Senior Manager Wendy Pauker, whose team works closely with pediatric patients and their families to make their stay less stressful and anxious, said having a relaxing and well-designed outdoor space is incredibly beneficial to patients. “Stepping outside to get a much-needed breath of fresh air is great medicine,” Pauker said. “Our plan in pediatrics is to utilize this new space as often as we can for special events, education and other fun activities.” A golf tournament to raise money to help build the garden will be held Oct. 24 at Topgolf, a new multistory driving range in Glendale that challenges golfers of all ages to hit micro-chipped golf balls into giant targets to score points.

Corsi, The Guy Who Made Impossible Requests Possible, Retires After Stones Concert

hen fans think of State Farm Stadium, names like Larry Fitzgerald, Kurt Warner and Patrick Peterson come to mind or Garth Brooks, Mick Jagger or Taylor Swift. However, one man behind the scenes has been the lifeblood of State Farm Stadium’s operations team for the past 11 years: Fred Corsi. As State Farm Stadium’s Executive Director of Operations, Corsi has a storied 46-year career managing the operations of multiple sports and entertainment venues

GLENDA G LENDALE LE LI LIV VING ING • FUN!

across the United States. Throughout his career, Corsi has worked behind the scenes, in the shadows and outside of the spotlight, to become one of the most well-known and highly regarded venue operations managers in the sports and entertainment industry. After a career of more than four decades, Corsi has made the difficult decision to hang up his cleats. Corsi got his start in the industry in 1973 after serving oversees in the Air Force where he worked as a radio intercept operator. After moving from his hometown of Cleveland, Corsi was hired as a part-time event attendant at the Long Beach Arena and Auditorium, eventually earning a full-time position and a start to a career in the sports and entertainment industry. From Long Beach, Corsi moved on to positions at NHL arenas including Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, New York; the Los Angeles Forum; the old St. Louis Arena and now the new Enterprise Center. From his time in NHL arenas, Corsi developed a reputation as an

industry leader in ice making and ice-making technologies, and he helped create the first off-season ice-making seminar attended by NHL arena managers and ice technicians from each NHL city. In 2008, Corsi accepted a position at State Farm Stadium overseeing facility operations, housekeeping, event set-up and engineering. He makes sure the field rolls in for every game, that the roof opens and closes, and that the stadium is clean, well maintained, and in a first-class condition for fans. Since Corsi has called State Farm Stadium home, he has worked 110 Arizona Cardinals’ regular season games and every home playoff game. He has worked Super Bowls, Final Fours, College Football Playoff Championships, and internationally touring concerts. And because of his cross-country moves, working thousands of events, and being a mentor to many, Corsi knows everyone: TV broadcast personnel, event promoters, concert touring professionals and staff within the NFL, NHL, NBA and NCAA.

Each has a fond story or memory of Corsi, many of them detailing a time when he made a seemingly impossible request possible. When Corsi began his career in 1973, The Rolling Stones traveled from city to city carrying everything in one simple box truck with a crew of approximately 10. When The Rolling Stones arrived in Glendale in August 2019, they brought 100 tractor-trailers carrying a massive stadium production of staging, lighting, sound and video. It took a crew of 350 people four days to build the stage and two days to pack it all up after the show is over. Thanks to the efforts of Fred Corsi, they made it look easy. When the Stones left the stage on Aug. 26, the house lights came up, the crowd departed and the final curtain closed on the 46-year career of a commensurate professional who has delivered special moments and magical memories for millions while serving as a positive and proud representative of Glendale and the state of Arizona. Thank you Fred. Job well done.

EDUCATING FOR LIFELONG SUCCESS Giving Students Skills to Succeed in the World of Tomorrow by Kim Chayka, CEO, Academies of Math and Science

hat is a good education in the year 2020? For as long as there have been schools, there has been school reform. With the advent of so many new school models as a result of many forces nationwide, including most notably charter schools, this question has become increasingly difficult for families, community members, and schools to answer. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported in 2017 that “states with higher shares of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) jobs had higher wages,” and STEM occupations have “above-average growth” when compared to non-STEM industries. If our nation continues its current path, the workplace of tomorrow will be a global STEM-driven economy powered by highly skilled and educated citizens. Schools and educators have a collective duty to ensure that curriculum and programs prepare students to meet these modern demands. On July 25, 2019, the Academy of Math and Science Glendale (AMSG), our school network’s seventh campus, opened its doors to a thousand students in midtown Glendale. AMSG’s bright young scholars will take advan-

tage of two decades of award-winning K-8 education as we strive to achieve our mission of transforming Glendale students into tomorrow’s global visionaries. At the AMSG groundbreaking ceremony, Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers recognized the need for a well-rounded, career-oriented STEM education suited to the demands of the modern world: “This Academy’s 20-year track record will be an amazing addition to our downtown area and also to our city as a whole… our students need to be inspired at an early age to try the STEM subjects… today’s groundbreaking is really just the answer we’ve asked for.” How exactly does the educational program at AMSG provide an answer to Glendale? We provide a well-rounded curriculum incorporating STEM blended with college and career preparation, fine arts and foreign languages. From their first day of kindergarten to their last day of eighth grade, AMSG students will conduct labs and research, perform in drama and music recitals, play musical instruments, program and build robots, create art in multiple media, speak Russian or Mandarin, and explore career opportunities in STEM, all while participating in curriculum that

reinforces strong character values. In 2020, great schools educate students for lifelong success through opportunities for the development of the whole child, extensive parent support, and by working harder than any school was ever expected to 20 years ago. AMSG will offer at least 14 extracurricular sports and clubs starting in kindergarten, before and after-school care until 6:00 p.m., 20 additional days of instruction per school year, and one additional hour of instruction per day over the state average. Innovative curriculum, extended school days, and additional support for families enables students of all socioeconomic backgrounds to develop into well-rounded college and career-ready scholars prepared for the world of tomorrow. As CEO of the Academies of Math and Science, I am thrilled to bring AMS’s programs to Glendale. The work that AMS has done for the past 20 years has transformed thousands of underchallenged and struggling students alike into soaring scholars. And when students succeed, so does our community. For your children and the Glendale community, hard work and success is not just our goal — it’s our promise.

Innovative curriculum, extended school days, and additional support for families enables students of all socioeconomic backgrounds to develop into well-rounded college and career-ready scholars prepared for the world of tomorrow.
