Offerings

Programs & Services

SALC is a membership organization, composed of about 140 C-suite business and community leaders in the region. SALC has five primary areas of focus: P-20 Education, Infrastructure, Healthcare, Governance and Innovation Economy. We engage in public policy to advance initiatives in each of these areas, and are a respected voice of business leadership in the region and state. We work with elected officials at the local, regional, state and federal levels to advance prosperity for all in Southern Arizona and beyond. SALC is also a founding member of Tucson Business Alliance which is comprised of 7 local business organizations that collaborate on key issues (SALC, Southern Arizona Home Builders Association, Sun Corridor, Tucson Association of Realtors, Tucson Hispanic Chamber, Tucson Metro Chamber, Visit Tucson).


SALC’s senior business leaders work collaboratively with others to improve our economy and quality of life. Our members have a “greater good gene” and are cognizant that when the region thrives, their business or organization prospers. Through SALC meetings and events, members engage with elected leaders at all levels and partner with myriad other organizations including our sister CEO organizations in central and northern Arizona to promote effective public policy.
