As the new Director of Member Services for the Tucson Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, I couldn’t be more thrilled to be part of such a dynamic organization! This certainly is not your father’s Chamber; however, the principal remains as a modernized version of a 125-year-old organization that has historically supported businesses in our local community.  

A little about me, is I am a native Tucsonan that considers myself the girl next door who has a genuine passion for helping my neighbor, being involved for the good of the community, and making the world a better place- especially one business at a time.  

The steppingstone of my journey includes being a part of large corporations, smaller communities, and locally owned organizations, most recently, Commerce Bank of Arizona, fundraising for non-profits, such as the Good Scout Awards and the Spina Bifida Association of Southern Arizona. I have been an instrumental part of startups and turning around failing companies to be extraordinary successes. Positions held ranged from entry-level to Vice President due to a robust passion and ability to deliver time and time again and my commitment is to do the same for you.  

My background in business and relationship development is the heartbeat of my successes across industries and is what excites me the most about serving you. I truly understand business issues and I can’t wait to hear about yours.  I am your connector and I love Tucson!

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.

Norman Bacal, in his clear and insightful book, Take Charge, faces these questions and challenges young professionals to build the skills which will empower them toward professional success.

TLC Coordination and Advocacy is the one call for older adults to make. We meet with individuals and families to assess their needs and help sort out what kind of care and services best meet their needs to help them stay as independent as possible. Then we arrange and coordinate those services, monitor them for quality, and troubleshoot any glitches. We attend medical appointments to make sure doctors get an accurate picture and that any orders are carried through and families are updated. 

We are a safety net for those who have no one else to help. We are the boots on the ground for busy adult children whether they are in Tucson or in another country. We are like a project manager for aging. We focus on the people, but also arrange care for pets, homes, autos, and anything else that needs attention. A care manager is on-call 24 hours to assist with urgent situations whether it’s a trip to the ER or a broken pipe or AC that goes out in July.
