Opportunities & Benefits

The Economic Club of Phoenix is the preeminent forum in Arizona for the exchange of ideas about business and the economy. For nearly a quarter of a century, ECP has been hosting luncheons and special events where members have opportunities to hear the latest thinking from national and international business leaders. ECP is now expanding its role and offering new opportunities for business executives to engage more directly with the W. P. Carey School of Business.
