Barbara McClure wakes up each morning passionate about going to work at a place that improves lives and inspires futures every day! She has been the Executive Director of a Tucson social service nonprofit called IMPACT of Southern Arizona, for ten years. What is it that keeps you passionate about your role Barbara?
Barbara has been a visionary and planner with decades of experience as a small business owner and in nonprofit leadership; her innovative ideas and strategic thinking, along with a talent for bringing the community together, has helped grow IMPACT five-fold in a very short time. Her talents and interests are diverse but all center around helping people, improving the community, bolstering education, building capacity and sustainability, being vocal about the rights and conditions of others, experiencing art, nurturing all inhabitants of your garden, and enjoying life to the fullest.
And now Barbara is about to experience another exciting chapter in her life with hosting a brand-new Radio Show Podcast here on the Tucson Business RadioX Network starting in November.
IMPACT of Southern Arizona is a 20 – year old social service nonprofit stabilizing families and seniors, and moving people out of poverty. IMPACT’s programs are designed to stretch household budgets so earned income can be spent on necessities such as improved housing conditions, fuel to get to work, utilizes, and needed medical attention and prescriptions. Its clients are your neighbors! People come to IMPACT because it is a welcoming place where they are always treated with dignity and respect, and where they find resources, referrals, coaching, and help to attain the skills that can move them forward into self-sufficiency.
Barbara grew up in Pasadena CA, moved to Long Beach for college, got married and started our family then moved to Seattle area ten years later. Took our youngest son on an 11-month motorhome trip to get to Tucson – Homeschooled for 10th grade.
We vacationed at a rustic cabin when I was growing up, where we had no phone or television; and spent all our time outside fishing, hiking, horseback riding, listening to old radio shows, playing pool, reading comic books from the local small grocer, and using our imaginations all day long. I always admired the superheroes who defended people and cities like Gotham and Metropolis, so when our three boys were born, we named them after familiar character: Colin (Bryce for an overlay of Bruce Wayne, Kent, and Parker. Our first grandchild was born last year, and as in the family tradition, named Logan, after the Wolverine. I used to always tell them they were my superheroes – and they still are today!
Barbara loves working with numbers and has always loved math and the organization of things, so accounting seemed perfect, but I soon realized that I if I became a CPA I would have to spend many months inside doing tax returns, and that did not appeal to me as a long–term career! I have a great imagination and enjoy creating things, so thought I should find a better path that might nurture that side of my personality. I was working in the shipping industry in SoCal at the time and fell in love with import and export, so shifted my majors to Marketing and International Business. Those were wonderful fits, and I imagined graduating and moving to the largest port on the planet, in Germany; then, I met my future husband and things took a different turn.
A little bit about how Barbara got into Nonprofit work:
All along with my husband and I were always involved in nonprofits and community volunteer opportunities, and often said it was too bad we could not make a living doing those things we loved so much. Leadership roles in PTO, Boy Scouts, Historical Societies, Junior League, Elks, Rotary and more. Then when we moved to Tucson I looked for a local opportunity to impact my community. A Board position was about to open at IMPACT, and my local bank branch manager, Peggy Smoot, suggested I would be very passionate about getting involved in the mission work there. I worked in the Food Bank.
There are thousands of nonprofits in Tucson. What makes IMPACT Unique is that they bring the community together to stabilize families and move people out of poverty. Our true success lies in partnering with a large number of businesses, agencies, social clubs and other nonprofits. We invest $2.5 million in the community each year, and we do it all with a lean staff of amazing professionals supported by more than 170 volunteer shifts each week! We have put great systems in place to run efficiently, effectively and with a commitment to sustainability and integrity, protecting the community’s investment in our work, striving for perfect audits, being innovative, building capacity and most importantly – treating everyone with dignity and respect. We are an award-winning nonprofit with numerous nods to incredible customer service. Our clients are your neighbors… We improve lives and inspire futures of people living in Southern AZ.
So, IMPACT is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, and you have been at the helm half that time. Share with me the things IMPACT has accomplished over the years, and the things you have planned for this celebratory year.

Ed Sandrick is the director of the Veteran Channel, Humana Strategic Alliances, and has been with Humana for 17 years. Ed is also the point person for Humana’s national veteran service organization partners, The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and American Veterans (AMVETS). Ed leads a team that is focused on developing and implementing Veteran outreach activities at the state and local level, primarily with and through Humana’s Retail organization. Ed served on active duty as an infantry officer in the United States Marine Corps from 1970 to 1979. He retired from the Marine Corps Reserve in 2000, attaining the rank of colonel.
Mr. Sandrick says, “if you are a veteran considering Medicare options, in 2020 you will have the opportunity to maximize your coverage by electing to have a Medicare Advantage plan that complements coverage you may have through your Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits. It is important veterans understand how a Medicare Advantage plan can round out the coverage provided by VA benefits to maximize your health and wellness benefits.”
The launch of the Humana Medicare Advantage Honor plans as a natural next step in the commitment to veterans, it’s important to understand that a veteran’s health goes beyond physical symptoms – it’s a state of general well-being that encompasses a healthy body and mind. Mr. Sandrick says, “these plans, which are open to everyone with Medicare, will reinforce the ongoing commitment to support the total care our veterans need, in and out of the doctor’s office).
Fortunately, finding a Medicare Advantage plan that works in tandem with the VA health care is easier than you think, as you can enroll in plans that are designed with veterans in mind.

About Banner Hospital
The Phoenix-based Banner Alzheimer’s Institute, known internationally as a leader in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, is building a multidisciplinary memory and research center in Tucson’s Catalina Foothills.
The 10,000-square-foot facility, which is set to open in the spring of 2020, will be named the Toole Family Memory Center at Banner Alzheimer’s Institute in Tucson. The institute was scheduled to break ground on the project Friday, June 28.
It will be located at the southeast corner of North Hacienda del Sol and East River roads, east of North Campbell Avenue.
The Toole family lives in Tucson and donated $5 million to the Banner Alzheimer’s Foundation to bring the institute to Southern Arizona, officials said.
The center will provide outpatient services related to the evaluation, diagnosis and medical management of both cognitive and non-cognitive behavior problems, according to the release. The center will also offer clinical trials where patients can learn about and gain access to promising investigational treatments and research.
The number of people living with Alzheimer’s in Arizona is expected to grow by 43% over the next seven years, the national Alzheimer’s Association says.
Among other findings in the association’s 2018 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report:
- An estimated 5.7 million Americans have Alzheimer’s dementia, including 140,000 in Arizona.
- By 2025, the number of people ages 65 and older with Alzheimer’s dementia is estimated to reach 7.1 million. In Arizona, the number of individuals with Alzheimer’s is predicted to be 200,000.
- The burden on Alzheimer’s caregivers continues to grow. In 2017, more than 16 million Americans provided about 18.4 billion hours of unpaid care in the form of physical, emotional and financial support — a contribution valued at $232.1 billion. In Arizona, 330,000 caregivers provided 376 million hours of unpaid care, valued at $4.7 billion.
