Writing Style Guidelines

Brand References

Use the below guidelines when writing about GPEC as an organization.

  • Always use “the Greater Phoenix Economic Council (GPEC)” on first mention.
  • Use “GPEC” on second and repeating mentions
  • Never use “the GPEC”

 

Regional References

Use the framework outlined below when writing about GPEC’s work or regional developments.

  • Always use “Greater Phoenix,” unless referring directly to the city of Phoenix.
  • Never refer to “Greater Phoenix” as “Phoenix”
    • One of the member communities is the City of Phoenix
    • “Greater Phoenix” is the region that encompasses the 22 member communities
  • Use Maricopa County or Pinal County if referring to them separately; if together, “county” should be lowercase
  • Always use “region” only by itself. Never “the Greater Phoenix region”
  • Never “T/the Greater Phoenix,” “Greater Phoenix Area,” or “Valley”

 

Personnel References

Follow current AP Style when referring to individual personnel.

  • Always capitalize a person’s title when placed before their name
    • Example: “The President & CEO of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council, Chris Camacho, says Greater Phoenix has 22 member cities and towns.”
  • Never capitalize titles after names
    • Example: “Martha Miner, GPEC’s vice president of human resources, says Greater Phoenix is the best place to live and work.”
