EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Dr. Jen Cruz, 2025 Chair of the Board
It is an honor and privilege to serve as the 2025 Board Chair for the Glendale Chamber of Commerce. This role provides a unique opportunity to collaborate with dedicated business leaders, city officials, and community partners, all united in our mission to strengthen Glendale’s vibrant and dynamic community.
A thriving and inclusive business environment is essential for the long-term success of Glendale and Arizona as a whole. When businesses of all sizes succeed, our local economy prospers— leading to more jobs, greater opportunities, and a higher quality of life for all residents. It is vital that we work together to foster an ecosystem where innovation flourishes, industries thrive, and diverse entrepreneurs are valued. To that end, The Glendale Chamber remains steadfast in championing workforce development and advocating for policies that support an inclusive economy. We also remain deeply committed to supporting our current and former members of the U.S. Armed Forces, honoring their service and contributions to our community.
Equally vital is ensuring that every part of Glendale, from the historic charm of Old Town to the dynamic growth of Westgate, has the opportunity to thrive. By prioritizing inclusive development, we can build a balanced and prosperous future. I invite you to join us in shaping the Chamber of tomorrow.
