Gilbert business development manager Dan Henderson has been
named the economic developer of the year by the Arizona Association
for Economic Development.
Henderson came to Gilbert in August 2007 and has since
“demonstrated excellence in leadership and execution of creative
economic development strategies at the local level,” according to
AAED. In 2010, Henderson led Gilbert’s economic development team in
locating 15 new businesses to the community, resulting in $123
million of capital investment and more than 500 net new jobs.
This is the second time a Gilbert official has been honored as
economic developer of the year. Economic development director Greg
Tilque was honored with the title in 1992.
Henderson has an MBA in Computer Information Systems, and teaches
as an adjunct faculty member for Chandler-Gilbert Community
College.
