Effective July 1, 2026, I will be stepping down from my position as President and CEO of Mesa United Way. The Mesa United Way board is in the process of finding an executive director and will announce that later this month. I will remain as CEO of Mesa United Way until June 14th. I will then be concentrating on the growth and success of Azura.
