Global Chamber® launches from Phoenix, Arizona on Wednesday, November 5th, 10-11am at Phoenix City Hall with Mayor Greg Stanton and regional and global leaders. The launch follows 7 years of operations as Arizona International Growth Group (AZIGG), which over that time had nearly 400 speakers and collected over 20,000 followers.
"It's a new global day in Phoenix, and we look forward to connecting more broadly to the world", said Doug Bruhnke, CEO/founder of Global Chamber and AZIGG. "We're proud to have regional leaders like Mayor Stanton who totally get how important global business is to the community and world."
Watch highlights of the launch event at City Hall here.
Speakers included Mayor Stanton and leaders from supporting organizations including the Consulate of Mexico, the Peace Corps, Musical Instrument Museum, law firm Polsinelli and exporters.
Global Chamber will continue some of the AZIGG best practices including collaborating regionally, supporting global connections and providing mentoring on global growth and global careers. The biggest difference going forward will be that Global Chamber is branching out well beyond Arizona... providing additional business services and creating a 'global tribe' of business executives, professionals and students... who share comparable challenges and opportunities.
"Those of us who love global business have a special connection with each other", said Doug Bruhnke, "And that connection keeps us tied together even as we're doing business far away. We have a lot to give each other when we find ways to stay connected, as we plan to facilitate via the Global Chamber."
Watch for more on the Global Chamber starting November 5th. The website will be up then at www.globalchamber.org and there is a full compliment of social media available on twitter, facebook and linkedin.

Join the global tribe to.., be global and UNSTOPPABLE!
All the best, Doug Bruhnke
