Our beautiful community is part of Phoenix and one of 15 villages designated by the city. This vibrant village is a blend of unlimited outdoor activities, culturally diverse cuisine, luxurious resorts, fabulous spa experiences, remarkable retail shopping, deluxe hotel accommodations and wellmanicured golf courses. Ahwatukee is also host to seasonally warm and sundrenched weather, beautiful hiking trails, wonderful outdoor adventures and panoramic views. All of this making Ahwatukee one of the most desirable places in Arizona to live, work, play, and raise a family.

The Ahwatukee Foothills Chamber of Commerce understands that in order to have a strong economic environment you must have a strong community. We are truly blessed in Ahwatukee to have business leaders, corporate partners, local educators, small-business owners and residents who realize that we all share in the responsibility of creating economic growth and prosperity within our community. The Ahwatukee Chamber’s objective is to work toward improving the quality of life in Ahwatukee through the support and commitment of its members, volunteers and committees. The chamber is proud to sponsor functions and events throughout the year to help support the community and its local businesses. Our vision at the Ahwatukee Foothills Chamber of Commerce is Building Business, Building Community.

When you join the chamber you are invited to be an active part of our community and work side by side with small, medium and large business owners who are as devoted to the area’s success as you are. As a member, you will find your efforts to be rewarding and even fun!

The Ahwatukee Foothills Chamber of Commerce is essentially an organized group of local business leaders and professionals who seek to help community businesses in the area to develop, grow and prosper through mentoring, professional development, marketing, legislative support, workforce prosperity and more.

The Ahwatukee Chamber takes on several community functions, including: • Pro-business champion. • Economic planner. • Tourist information center. • Events coordinator. • Legislative advocate. • Public relations promoter.

There are a couple different ways to get involved with the Ahwatukee Chamber. You can join a committee or the board and make an impact in the community; or, you can simply join the chamber, representing your business, and take part in educational opportunities, event marketing, ribbon cuttings and mixers without the additional responsibilities of committee position.

CREDIBILITY

Joining your local chamber can be a huge credibility booster. In fact, chamber membership can boost your business’ reputation by more than 50%. Consumers often use their chamber as a resource when seeking out local goods and services.

LEGISLATIVE IMPACT

The chamber committed to protecting the community of small businesses and is a powerful force in opposing or fighting for regulations that could harm or impact the smallbusiness community. When a group of businesses comes together to make a stand on an issue (like zoning, new business regulations or fees) their voices are more impactful and more likely to be heard.
