The APS Academy for the Advancement of Small, Minority and Women Owned Enterprises
The APS Academy for the Advancement of Small, Minority and Women Owned Enterprises (AAAME) is a two-year business mentoring program designed, sponsored and administered by Arizona Public Service. Since 1997, 116 small businesses in the Phoenix metropolitan area have attended business training classes, built networks, developed resources and met with individual advisors all geared toward assisting them in reaching their next level of business success.
This focused and integrated mentoring has resulted in 80 AAAME graduates, with 29 companies currently in some phase of the AAAME process. All of these businesses have gained knowledge, support, insight, resources and skills that have allowed them to succeed and thrive in their chosen business. Many of the AAAME companies have increased their revenues and net profits, increased their workforce, strengthened their market position and increased their business space which adds to the economic impact in Arizona. In addition, several AAAME companies have been recognized for their achievements through various award programs.
Applications for 2008 - AAAME Class 11 are now available. Applications will be due June 27, 2008. If you have any questions, please contact Rena Huber at 602-250-4712 or e-mail Rena.Huber@aps.com.
