The Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA) is the state's leading economic development organization with a streamlined mission to grow and strengthen Arizona’s economy. The ACA uses a three-pronged approach to advance the overall economy: recruit, grow, create – recruit out-of-state companies to expand their operations in Arizona; work with existing companies to grow their business in Arizona and beyond; and partner with entrepreneurs and companies large and small to create new jobs and businesses in targeted industries.

The ACA is overseen by a prestigious public-private sector board of directors bringing together industry, academia and government. Chaired by Arizona Governor Doug Ducey, the board is comprised of the state’s most prominent private-sector business leaders, university and community college presidents, and elected officials.

The ACA’s executive management team drives the organization’s day-to-day operations, ensuring it maintains focus on the recruitment of quality companies and jobs to the state of Arizona. This team brings together the best and brightest in economic development, management and communications.

We Love Company Building.

Impact For Good
We believe that company-building, done right, can have a lasting impact for good. Mission-driven companies committed to sustainable growth can substantially improve the lives of individuals and families as well as transform communities and industries. Building something great is always hard, but always worth it.

We partner with human-centric founders who are all-in on company building. That means creating highly differentiated products, developing enduring customer relationships, and cultivating healthy company cultures. We know that this can be a daunting and lonely proposition at times. We are with you.

At Fennemore, we help clients pursue solutions and, when necessary, we aggressively pursue and defend their interests with extensive trial experience in federal and state courts, administrative agencies, and in arbitration proceedings.

Salt River Project, or SRP, is a community-based, not-for-profit organization providing affordable water and power to more than 2 million people in central Arizona.

It’s made up of two separate organizations: the “Association,” a private water corporation founded in 1903, and the “District,” an electricity provider formed as an agricultural improvement district and a political subdivision of the State of Arizona in 1937.

By providing these essential resources for more than a century, we’ve helped the Phoenix metropolitan area develop and thrive.
