‘7 Economic Council
Action Plan
Fi ISC<¢ | Ye
“Through it all, our prospect
pipeline has rebounded from
the economic downturn and
is more robust than ever.”
- Chris Camacho
President & CEC
Greater F
A letter from Chris Camacho
President & CEO, Greater Phoenix Economic Council
Over the past year, our
organization, our community
and the world has been
through one of the greatest
ordeals it has ever faced with
the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet
GPEC rose to the challenge
and was named the top
economic development
organization in the U.S. by
the International Economic
Development Council. We
developed resources and
programs to support small
businesses as they navigated
new federal programs. We
supported our partners in
diversity and equity initiatives.
We focused on educating our
region on issues important to
the community through our
Regional Reports. Through it
all, our prospect pipeline has
rebounded from the economic
downturn and is more robust
than ever.
The organization is committed
to continuing that momentum
going forward in the final year
of our three-year Strategic
Plan. We will amplify our
brand regionally, nationally
and globally. We will build on
our data science capabilities
to create new and innovative
ways to attract businesses
and convey our message to
our stakeholders. And we will
develop strategies and policies
to build a resilient economy.
Through these efforts GPEC
impacts the community one
business, one job, one life at a
time because we are Greater
Phoenix, Greater Together.
Re
Strategic
Plan
GPEC's FY20-22 Strategic Plan
establishes a framework where GPEC
will drive the transformation of Greater

their own success through programs

two overarching goals that drive the
organization forward:
