About Desert United


Desert United Networking luncheons - an impactful platform for Fostering Connections and mutual success for everyone. Uniting Businesses, Nonprofits and Students for over 17 years. In 2007, the Desert United Luncheons came to life as a response to the housing market crash and the economic hardship that swept through our local community, affecting businesses and entrepreneurs alike. Witnessing the struggle of fellow business owners and the toll it took on families, I was compelled to contribute to the recovery efforts. Together with my dedicated team, we pooled our resources to establish the Desert United Luncheons, a gathering place for local professionals and business owners to foster connections, both personal and professional.


Now, we are going on our 17th year of hosting these monthly luncheons, we consistently draw 80 to 150 attendees each time. Our aim is to unite a diverse crowd of professionals, ranging from retailers, hospitality establishments, and contractors to service providers, nonprofits, and aspiring college students. The central objective is simple yet powerful: to build robust relationships and expand our collective resources.


Each luncheon provides a platform for individuals to share their business stories, with every attendee granted three minutes to connect with their tablemates. Moreover, our commitment to community extends to showcasing a different nonprofit organization each month, spotlighting their exceptional contributions to society. This platform allows the guest speaker to shed light on the organization's needs and ambitions, ultimately amplifying their mission.


I firmly believe in inclusivity, bridging the gap from the East side to the West side of town and everyone in between. Success and prosperity should know no bounds, and I consider myself privileged to work alongside my family in sustaining these luncheons as our way of giving back to the community. Our mission remains steadfast: to continue offering these luncheons, not only as a valuable networking opportunity but also as a living example for future generations. We emphasize the importance of building relationships and nurturing connections, for we understand that our collective strength and support are essential for a brighter future.
