The Board advises City Council on Chandler’s economic development program including policy recommendations, strategic planning, and expansion. The members of the Board represent different areas of the business community.
The meeting schedule is variable.
Innovation is ingrained in Chandler’s culture and heritage. Our founder, Dr. A.J. Chandler, and entrepreneurial families in our early history planted the seeds of innovation for all who would follow them.
Through the decades, Chandler evolved from a city of crops and fields to a technology hub of fabs and chips. And, in the process, we’ve worked to preserve and celebrate our family roots and hometown traditions.
The pursuit of ideas that create value advances Chandler in the ways we serve today and thoughtfully prepare for tomorrow.
