Leadership

We are the only board in the region where leaders of foundations, higher education, community development corporations, private companies, economic development organizations, and local government come together with equal decision-making authority to learn, lead and develop ideas together to advance an inclusive economy.

Our board of directors is comprised of representatives of all funding members as well as civic members. Each holds one vote in all decision-making. Elected officers, standing committee chairs, initiative leaders, at-large members, and large funders serve on an Executive Committee, which provides additional oversight.
