The Council on Competitiveness has a long history of successfully impacting public policy at the federal, state and local levels, and throughout the private sector. Its members are the decision makers in their organizations, able to enact new policies and programs quickly. Taken together, the Council’s tripartite membership speaks with an influential voice that gets the attention of policymakers from one end of Pennsylvania Avenue to the other.
While not an advocacy organization, the Council is uniquely capable of bringing a cross section of private sector leaders together around a specific topic or policy prescription. Through a series of briefings, meetings and reports, this “voice” of the Council is conveyed to policymakers at all levels. In addition, the Council seeks out partnerships with organizations and individuals both in the private sector and in government that can mutually benefit its agendas and strengthen both parties’ positions.
