Region Prospers from CEO Leadership 

“A rising tide lifts all boats.”

This aphorism, which President John F. Kennedy was said to evoke often, characterizes the vision of a high powered select group of business leaders called the Southern Arizona Leadership Council.

“We were created to be a business group,” said Ron Shoopman, retired brigadier general, United States Air Force, and president of SALC. “We take care of business issues first. Then we reach out and tackle related issues that create a vibrant community for all our citizens.”
