Executive Q&A: Scott Celley - Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce

First Person Profile
The Valley’s business community has a story to tell. We asked them to do just that.
“It just
makes me
feel so
good to
give back…”
“I’ve been volunteering at the Society of St.
Vincent de Paul for the last 15 years and have
been managing their Henry Unger Dining
Room on weekends for the last 13. We’ll serve
breakfast to 400 to 500 people or so and lunch
to another 800 or more on a given day.
I’m blessed to have a house and a car and nice
clothes, while some of these people have nothing.
To be able to help is really my passion. Every day,
no matter what, when I come in here, I feel great.
Have An Inspirational Story To Tell?
30 IMPACT | SePTeMber 2010
Contributing to your community is a winwin-win
for business people. Most importantly,
helping others makes you feel really good
inside. You can help spread the word about the
organization you volunteer for and help them
grow. And you might get a little exposure for
your own business while you’re at it.
The business community can’t be separate
from the community at large. Those two will just
naturally come together. For me, I help people in
my business, and then on weekends I get to help
people here.
I love it here at St. Vincent de Paul. Volunteering
here makes me feel really, really good.”
