We the undersigned have lost faith in the direction of the Tucson Chamber Of Commerce. It is widely known that Tucson/Pima County is not a pro business community. Those that have been in charge are directly responsible for these short comings. The leadership of theTucson Chamber has failed and must be held accountable. We the undersigned see the fragmentation of the various business chambers, buraeaus and associations as a major contributing factor that set our region back. We must have chamber leadership that unites and fosters climate that supports or fosters entrepreneurial spirit. We agree with a 2006 TREO study which identified - lack of political and lack of business leadership as a major hurdle for our region.

We refuse to allow another generation slip by due to inaction and poor management.

As busy business owners we expect the Tucson Chamber Of Commerce to take the lead, chart the course and enlist our money and support to ensure our community respects and encourage entrepreneurship. The Tucson Chamber has failed over the past to create a pro business environment.

The Tucson Chamber of Commerce’s poor management and lack of vision has in fact set the business community back.

We the undersigned have lost faith in the Tucson Chamber of Commerce.
