From the Director...What a treat this year’s Chilton Leadership Class has been! Words to

describe them are energetic, anxious to learn, diverse (see lsit of participants on pg 7) and certainly inquisitive. Gay West and I,

along with the previous graduates who developed the plans for this class, have enjoyed working with this group as they

explorered ways to step up to the next level of leadership in our community. The 2013 class now knows that the greatest benefit of this

venture is the lasting relationship developed with each of thier classmates.

At the May 7th Chamber Luncheon the Chilton Leadership Class of 2013 will graduate with honors. Come join us as we celebrate tehir

accomplishments.

HEARD IN AND ABOUT THE U.S. CHAMBER...

“It is the private sector that drives economic growth and jobs, and it is the government’s responsibility to work on a bipartisan basis to pass policies that will unleash the private sector and help put Americans

back to work..”

__ U.S. Chamber President and CEO Tom Donohue, quoted in the Financial Times, November 7, 2012

“Education systems must begin to truly organize their work around consumers, business, students,

and communities rather than around the interest of the education systems themselves.”

__Margaret Spellings,President of the Chamber’s U.S. Forum for Policy

Innovation, in an op-ed published in The Phoenix Business Journal, December 7, 2012
