The American Indian Chamber of Commerce of Arizona family is deeply saddened by the passing of former board member JoAn Begay Notah, a tireless advocate for Native entrepreneurs, Tribal businesses, and economic empowerment across Indian Country.

JoAn dedicated her life and career to uplifting Native-owned businesses, mentoring emerging leaders, and creating opportunities for Indigenous entrepreneurs to grow and succeed. Her passion, leadership, and unwavering commitment to strengthening Native economies left a lasting impact on countless individuals, organizations, and communities.

She was a respected voice and a champion of progress, someone who genuinely believed in the power of Native business leadership to transform communities for future generations. Her legacy will continue to inspire all of us at AICCAZ and beyond.

We extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, colleagues, and all whose lives she touched.

Rest in power, JoAn. Your work and spirit will never be forgotten.
