For more than 21 years the Arts and Business Council of Greater Phoenix has grown leaders and inspired volunteer involvement to enrich our community.

The breakfast’s proceeds support the Arts and Business Council’s operating expenses, allowing us to continue providing services and support to arts organizations, including:

Business Volunteers for the Arts – in 2010 our business volunteers consulted with more than 40 arts organizations on more than 55 projects which translates to their donation of approximately $245,000.

Business on Board – a dynamic program designed to identify, recruit and train business professionals in board governance. Since its inception, we have graduated more than 250 professionals who have been or are in the process of being matched with arts/cultural and social service organization boards.
