As President/CEO, she will focus on creating opportunities for local businesses to thrive, advocating for the needs of members, and strengthening partnerships.  Arredondo-Savage shared her enthusiasm for the opportunity to serve her hometown in this capacity. "As a lifelong resident, business owner and former City Councilmember, I’ve had the privilege of experiencing this city from many perspectives. I’m honored to lead the Tempe Chamber and to work alongside our incredible business community to strengthen our economy, foster collaboration and ensure Tempe remains a great place to live, work and play."
