On Tuesday, March 7, Joe Ducey of Channel ABC15 and host of “Let Joe Know” will be the speaker. Joe is a consumer advocate who exposes scams and holds businesses accountable for their contracts and agreements. He concentrates on consumer investigative stories by exposing scams, rip-offs and deals just too good to be true. He’s also interested in big investigations that demand digging to find the answers and bring change.
Joe was honored with a 2013 Peabody Award, one of the industry’s most prestigious investigative journalism awards. He also won a 2013 regional Edward R. Murrow Award. Both awards came after an investigation into a car crash and the death of a 17-year-old Arizona girl. Joe and his team exposed the hidden history of the car involved. It led to a government investigation and the recall of more than 700,000 SUVs by two major carmakers.
Most importantly, he shares consumer red flags before they hit our wallets! It is these things and more that he will share. This is certain to be a winning presentation.
On Tuesday, March 14, Chief Sean Duggan, Chandler Chief of Police, will address the group. Chief Sean Duggan was appointed as the Chief of Police for the City of Chandler on January 13, 2014, after serving 27 years with the Scottsdale Police Department.

He will give step-by-step suggestions on how to get started and complete the task. Norm is the author of five novels and one non-fiction book. He is Past President of Sun Lakes Rotary Club.
