John Ramirez will serve as Vice Chair for
Internal Activities
University of Phoenix is pleased to announce that John Ramirez,
MBA, MS/AJS-GHS, USA CSM (ret) and dean of operations for the
University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies, has been
appointed to serve on the Executive Committee of the Arizona
Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (AZHCC) as Vice Chair for Internal
Activities.
Ramirez’s appointment term on the Board is from 2020 to 2029.
During his tenure as Vice Chair, Ramirez will be responsible for
oversight of five committees: Public Policy Committee, Finance and
Audit Committee, Scholarships and Grants Committee, Governance and
Nomination Committee, and HR and Compensation Committee. In this
role, he will oversee the work of the committees to ensure their
alignment with the objectives of AZHCC, and to provide guidance and
direction.
Under Ramirez’s leadership, the University of Phoenix
established its own chapter of the National Society for Leadership
and Success (NSLS) in 2020. This month, NSLS announced that 12
University of Phoenix Chapter members were recipients of
scholarships and awards. “I remember just a few years ago when John
spearheaded this student society chapter, and now we have over
40,000 student members, and a dozen winners of national awards,”
states Peter Cohen, president. “I appreciate John’s support and
leadership in service to our students and to our community.”
Ramirez has been involved with AZHCC for over a decade and was
assigned as a Board Member and to the Scholarship Committee in
January 2020. As a member of the Scholarship Committee, Ramirez
worked to help the committee define the ways in which the AZHCC
could address the higher education funding and success needs of
Hispanics in Arizona, especially those who are first generation
college students.
Ramirez credits his uncle as the inspiration for his own
decision to actively advocate for the Hispanic community in Arizona
after retiring from the military. “I wanted to continue the legacy
and commitment of my uncle Manuel Dominquez, who raised me. He was
an activist and community leader for 40 years, and served as the
Director of Chicanos Por La Causa and one of the co-founders of
ASU’s Los Diablos,” Ramirez shares. “AZHCC has done great work in
our community in their efforts to promote the success of
Hispanic-owned businesses – by facilitating business relationships,
economic development and sharing of knowledge for the benefit of
the State of Arizona and the growth and success of the members of
our Chamber and our Hispanic community.”
Ramirez completed his MBA, Master of Science, and Bachelor of
Science degrees with the University of Phoenix. He has been an
employee of the University for 17 years.
