MARANA, Ariz. — The Marana Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, is proud to announce the 33 distinguished business and community leaders selected to participate in Impact Marana Class 3. This diverse cohort reflects the breadth of our community, representing small businesses, major industries, local government, and key community organizations.

“Congratulations to the 33 exceptional business owners and community leaders selected for Impact Marana Class 3,” said Kerry Barrette (Impact Marana Class 1), Board Chair of the Marana Chamber of Commerce. “This premier leadership program is designed to offer a deeply immersive experience into the key sectors shaping Marana’s growth and vitality. We are proud to champion such a high-caliber cohort as they deepen their connection to one of Southern Arizona’s most dynamic and fastest-growing communities.”

Now in its third year, Impact Marana is a signature initiative of the Chamber—fostering connections, enhancing engagement, and equipping participants with the tools and relationships to lead effectively within the Marana region. While building community leadership skills, the Impact Marana Class will receive information and experiences through a series of seven Program Days focusing on public safety, education, agriculture/agritourism, human services, economic development, environmental resources, sustainability, arts, history and culture and so much more.

“As we launch the third year of Impact Marana, we’re proud to see how this program continues to grow in both depth and impact,” said Amanda Wiggins, President & CEO of the Marana Chamber of Commerce. “We look forward to another engaging and meaningful year of learning, connection, and leadership development with this impressive group of participants.”
