Oro Valley Is Built by People Who Build

The Oro Valley Business Club exists for the people who create value: entrepreneurs who risk their capital, professionals who master their work, and local leaders who refuse to treat achievement as an accident. A strong business community is not granted by decree. It is built, contract by contract and relationship by relationship, by people willing to think, act, and produce.

Here, a connection is not a ceremonial exchange of business cards. It is the beginning of a useful alliance between capable people.

Founded in 2012 by Henry Hank Jepsen and Gregory Lopeman, the Club was created around a direct proposition: business owners become stronger when they meet as equals, exchange knowledge honestly, and pursue opportunity without apology.

Read the Club’s history and meet its original leadership.

• Monthly luncheons: Direct access to business owners, professionals, speakers, and local decision-makers. See the 2026 schedule.
• Practical knowledge: Programs on leadership, marketing, finance, technology, reputation, and economic development.
• Business visibility: Member achievements and useful local stories published through our newsroom.
• Productive relationships: Referrals and partnerships earned through credibility, not empty promises.

Membership is $100 annually plus meals. There is no maze of committees and no demand that you surrender your independence to belong. Bring useful work, honest ambition, and respect for the effort of others. Join the Club

We admire competence. We value clear thinking. We respect the person who accepts responsibility for a result and delivers it. The Club is open to businesses of every size, but it is built for people who understand that opportunity is created before it is shared.

After a period of dormancy, the Club returned in 2025 with the same essential purpose and a renewed commitment to Oro Valley’s productive community. Read about the revival and the Club’s legacy.
