AS THE WORLD emerges from the pandemic and Phoenix cements itself as a key city on both the national and international stage,* this year’s Best of Our Valley winners are truly the best yet. This issue is dedicated to recognizing these talented people and stand-out businesses who have made a positive impact on our community, as voted by you! The Valley has grown immensely in recent years, and so has the strength and vitality of these star individuals and companies, some of them repeat contenders. We are also excited to introduce the 2022 Face of Foothills winners and highlight Harvest Compassion Center, the 2021 nonprofit of the year. The achievements of 2022’s Best of Our Valley winners also complement our 25th anniversary this

year; we are celebrating this milestone with a fresh look and new ownership. You can still expect to look forward to continued coverage on the latest events, trends and hidden local gems, both online and in future print editions, that embody the style, substance and sophistication that’s always been part of the magazine’s DNA. Now, it’s time to turn the page—both literally and figuratively—and cheer on the Best of Our Valley winners that make our city such an amazing place to call home. P.S. Be sure to follow @azfoothills on Instagram and visit azfoothills.com to learn more about the incredible winners and stay tuned for what’s new and next.
