The Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce issearching for a new CEO and executive director for
the second time in two years — and at a critical junc-ture for the Latino community.
The chamber joined the American Civil LibertiesUnion and other groups in May in legal challengesto the state’s new illegal immigration law, which isworking its way through the courts and has yet to
take effect.“One of the things that we feel we can do as a cham-
ber is to counteract the effects of this (law),” saidAZHCC spokesman James Garcia. “We representLatino small business, and this is where our repre-
sentation and advocacy comes in.”The chamber board is looking for someone to fill the
role who is comfortable representing the organiza-
tion in public and has proven administrative skills.“An ideal candidate would have a good knowledgeof nonprofits and the Hispanic business community,”

The city of El Mirage has a very “un-Phoenix” vision for its future — cutmore from the cloth of Santa Fe, N.M.,and Portland than the Valley’s sprawlingsuburbia.El Mirage voters in November will con-sider a long-term plan to transform theWest Valley city into a transit-oriented,environmentally friendly arts hub. Of-ficials also want to cut the city’s carbonfootprint by half over the next several de-cades and create parcels for organic and
urban gardens.

Greening the auto industry 
Thermo Fluids Inc. has made a business of taking dirtout of the automotive industry.
The Scottsdale company is poised to do more than just
recycle used oil products, as it has been doing since 1993.In August, it will become what may be the state’s first homefor recycling oil filters from auto repair and lube shops.For Arizona, where it is legal to ship used filters to land-
fills once they are drained, it represents another step in
a growing sustainability chain for the automotive sector,said James Devlin, the company’s CEO.“We don’t find (dumping filters in landfills) acceptable,and neither do our customers,” he said.
