MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS
Hold on. Why is this free? What's the catch?
We knew you were smart. But don't worry it just costs your time. About 30 minutes a year.
As an economic development nonprofit, we rely on grants and funding that require annual reporting on the economic impact of the work that we do. That means that we need your help. As a participant in 101, you will automatically be enrolled in our AZ Navigator Program.
A couple times a year we will ask you to complete a survey that helps us measure our impact in economic terms. Your data is de-identified for reporting and secure. Completing these annual surveys allows you to stay active in the Member Network and retain access to all these great benefits!
We appreciate your part in helping us to measure and track the role of entrepreneurship in our community’s economic vitality.
