Financial health

We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Programs described in its return (2)
  1. THE EAST VALLEY PARTNERSHIP CONTINUES TO BE A LEADING VOICE FOR A DIVERSE NUMBER OF BUSINESSES, NON-PROFITS, EDUCATIONAL, AND HEALTH CARE ENTITIES IN THE EASTERN AREA OF MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA. FOR ALMOST 40 YEARS THE PARTNERSHIP HAS SERVED TO EDUCATE AND FOSTER COLLABORATION AMONG INDIVIDUALS, BUSINESSES, GOVERNMENT AND NON-PROFIT ENTITIES COMMITTED TO IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN OUR REGION AND THE STATE OF ARIZONA. OUR ORGANIZATIONAL GOALS ARE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH SEVERAL MEANS INCLUDING EDUCATIONAL PRESENTATIONS AT OUR BOARD AND STANDING COMMITTEE MEETINGS. WE ALSO ORGANIZE AND CONDUCT FOUR MAJOR EVENTS WHICH SERVE AS EDUCATIONAL AND NETWORKING FORUMS FOR OUR MEMBERS AND THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. OUR 2024 EVENTS INCLUDED AN ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING, THE JANUARY BREAKFAST WITH THE GOVERNOR, A STATESPERSONS' LUNCHEON, AND OUR DECEMBER THOUGHT LEADER FORUM. THESE EVENTS ALL ATTRACT 200-250 PARTICIPANTS AND THE CONTENT IS DIVERSE AND RELEVANT. WE CONTINUE TO RECEIVE VERY POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM ATTENDEES.
  2. ONE OF OUR MAJOR ACTIVITIES IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY PROGRAM FOR STATE ISSUES THAT IMPACT THE MEMBERS AND THE EAST VALLEY. WE HAVE ORGANIZED A HIGHLY INCLUSIVE PROCESS TO DEVELOP A LIST OF PRIORITIES AND PROJECTS THAT CAN BE SHARED WITH STATE AND FEDERAL OFFICIALS. ANOTHER IMPORTANT TASK IS THE ONGOING PARTICIPATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP'S STAFF AND BOARD MEMBERS IN A NUMBER OF AD HOC COMMITTEES. THESE COMMITTEES ARE OFTEN CHARGED WITH DEVELOPING SOLUTIONS TO COMPLEX REGIONAL ISSUES SUCH AS INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRANSPORTATION FUNDING. THE PARTNERSHIP CONTINUES TO SERVE THE VITAL ROLE OF ACTIVELY PARTICIPATING AND OCCASIONALLY FACILITATING THESE MEETINGS. TWO ONGOING COMMITTEES OF NOTE ARE THE EAST VALLEY EDUCATION THINK TANK AND THE STATEWIDE TRANSPORTATION PARTNERS COMMITTEE. ANOTHER ONGOING ACTIVITY IS TO PROVIDE UP TO DATE DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE REGION. EACH YEAR, AN ECONOMIC PROFILE DOCUMENT IS PRODUCED THAT CONTAINS DEMOGRAPHIC DATA AND OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE REGION. FINALLY, THE PARTNERSHIP HAS A STANDING MARKETING COMMITTEE. WE CONTINUE TO HELP SUPPORT AND COLLABORATE WITH MANY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONS AS TO MARKET THE EAST VALLEY REGION TO NEW BUSINESSES THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES.
