Dear Community Partners,

On Saturday, February 11, 2017, Greater Tucson Leadership (GTL), a partner program of the Tucson Metro Chamber, will host the Tucson Man and Woman of the Year and Founders Awards Gala at the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort. We are seeking sponsorships for the event, proceeds of which support the GTL annual leadership class and the development of leaders in our community. We welcome your participation.

Founded in 1980, Greater Tucson Leadership (GTL) is a non-profit, non-partisan leadership organization dedicated to inspiring, developing and promoting leadership that impacts the Greater Tucson Region. GTL hosts an annual leadership class in which participants expand their knowledge of our region and become strong community leaders. In order to meet our mission, we rely on community partners like you.

HISTORY OF AWARDS

The Tucson Metro Chamber assumed the Man and Woman of the Year Program from the

Tucson Advertising Club in 1983, following a tradition established in 1952. The award program

honors a man and woman who have distinguished themselves for active support of community

projects, demonstrated excellence in leadership and who are a source of positive influence and

inspiration for others.

The Founders Award, established in 1985, is a lifetime achievement recognition citing an

individual who has demonstrated significant long-term community involvement and

accomplishments and who has helped to shape the community in a positive manner with merit

and dedication.

In 2012, the Tucson Metro Chamber provided GTL with the honor of carrying on with the tradition of these awards. The mission of Greater Tucson Leadership is to inspire, develop, and promote leadership, as well as identify leaders that impact the Tucson region. Keeping in line with this mission, GTL is proud to assume the lead role in presenting the Tucson Man and Woman of the Year and Founders Award.

With appreciation,

Kasey Hill
