The Arizona Data Center Alliance is proud to announce the official launch of the Arizona Data Center Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created to invest directly in Arizona's data center workforce pipeline.

Led by President Ryan Gruver and a board of industry leaders, the Foundation will fund scholarships, create paid internship pipelines, and partner with Arizona colleges to build the next generation of data center professionals. The Foundation unites industry organizations including AFCOM, 7×24 Exchange, and Infrastructure Masons under one mission: giving back to the community that powers the digital economy.

Board members include Andrea Clinton (Vice President), Patricia L. (Treasurer), Sarah Godbehere (Secretary), and directors Andreas Zoll, Gabriel E. Evans, Jesse Kenser, Valerie Crafton, and Brianna Walker.
