Like most valley cities, Mesa is an amalgamation of much of America. A taste of Mesa is a taste of Mexico that once occupied this territory.

It is a taste of Mormon pioneers that settled on the land of the Salt River, bringing with them strong family values. It is a taste of the Midwest farm families from Iowa, Michigan, Illinois, and Minnesota that brought strong work ethics, and like the earlier pioneers, strength in family. Compared to much of the U.S., it is a taste of the new, the progressive, and a dynamic brought about by continuing growth in population and in the economy. While ‘Go West Young Man’ may be considered trite old advice, much of the country is still taking it to heart and finding its way to Mesa. So a taste of Mesa is a taste of Americana, an eclectic concentration of hard working men and women with a strong sense of family and a dedication to place.
It is this dedication to place that drives the leadership of the Mesa Chamber of Commerce. It is this dedication to place that encourages the creativity of Chamber programs. It is this dedication to place that challenges our local government to be responsive to this mix of ethnic and economic backgrounds that is Mesa’s population. It continues to be the Chamber’s challenge to represent and influence Mesa’s economic engine in this place. It is the Chamber’s mission to bring together the leadership, the personalities and values that make up the Taste of Mesa, and by doing so, create a strong economy and a sustainable community.
