They have been consistently involved in ARC, Arizona Regional Council, with members being officers through the years.

Each member is an active part of these fundraising events.
In 2009, the Chapter applied to the IRS for a 501(c)6 designation following the guidelines from ABWA National Headquarters.
Membership has increased during the 2009-2010 year and it is expected to continue growing. Chapter members are dedicated and hard working and are proud to be members of the Tempe Charter Chapter.
