The Past Presidents’ Council of the Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce will celebrate the 27th Annual Scottsdale History Hall of Fame event May 7, honoring individuals, local companies and nonprofit organizations.

Over the past 27 years, the council has inducted 139 past and present Scottsdale leaders and 27 organizations into Scottsdale’s History Hall of Fame, according to a press release.

These individuals and organizations have contributed immeasurably to the rich heritage of Scottsdale, dating back to its modern-day founding in 1888 by Army Chaplain Winfield Scott. The event honors the people and organizations who have contributed to the City of Scottsdale.

Recipients include:

  • Denny Brown --- A community leader and education champion, East Valley Institute of Technology Foundation Board member, Scottsdale Human Services commissioner and former member of the Scottsdale Unified School District Governing Board.
  • Melinda Morrison Gulick --- A business and community leader, past executive with DMB and volunteer committed to conservation, education, animal welfare and a strong economy.
  • Dennis Robbins --- Executive director of the Scottsdale Charros and community volunteer, former Scottsdale City Council member, attorney and Scottsdale business owner.
  • Gregg Tryhus – Owner of Grayhawk Development, a land development, golf development/operations, and investment company. Mr. Tryhus also serves as a community volunteer on numerous boards and commissions.
  • Experience Scottsdale --- The private, non-profit destination marketing organization that works to enhance the local community by promoting the Scottsdale area as a luxury destination for meetings, events and leisure travel.
  • Salt River Project --- Formed in 1903, SRP is a community-based, not-for profit public power and water utility that provides electricity and water to more than 2 million people living in central Arizona, is the largest raw water supplier in the Valley, and is a major supplier of water to Scottsdale.
