Chair Judy Rich, president & CEO of TMC Health.  “In the 18 years since this organization was founded, we’ve proven to be a sustainable, world class economic development team with a pipeline full of prospects that can benefit our region for years to come. I know Susan’s leadership will take us even further.”

“We’re excited to welcome Susan as chair. We’re at a critical juncture where our competitiveness and the post-COVID economy are top concerns. Her perspective and leadership will be valuable,” said Joe Snell, president & CEO, Sun Corridor Inc. “Our work plan this year includes addressing our competitiveness and maintaining a high level of interest in business attraction and expansion. We also thank Judy Rich for her incredible leadership over the last three years.  During her tenure, we had 30 successes that created nearly 4,000 jobs and $6.5 billion in economic impact in those few years alone.”

Sun Corridor Inc.’s 18-member Chairman’s Circle serves as a key advisory group for business development and strategies addressing Southern Arizona’s competitiveness. The Board of Directors is comprised of 52 leaders from private, public, academia and nonprofit sectors to provide input and perspective on accelerating economic development.
