A dedicated group of residents, business owners, professionals, non profits and school districts have joined ranks and created the San Tan Valley area’s first ‘Think Tank.’ Approximately 30 like-minded residents have been gathering together to discuss, think about and take action on local, state and national issues that impact the community.
The San Tan Valley Think Tank was the brainchild of Jack Malpass, founder, president, business owner and business coach in the San Tan Valley area. According to Malpass, the “Think Tank” was created in 2009 because of the challenges that the San Tan Valley area faces but also because there was a need to bring community leaders together in a positive setting so that action could be taken in a unified voice to benefit the community and bridge the perceived gap between education and real life preparedness.
