Business Forward

Looking to make a difference but don’t see how you can have an impact on your own? Business Forward helps business leaders across the country brief policymakers on how best to accelerate the economy and create jobs. With the help of more than 60 of the world's most respected companies, Business Forward is making it easier for more than 100,000 business leaders from across America to advise Washington on important policy issues. Business Forward is active in over 125 cities and has worked with more than 650 senior Administration officials, Members of Congress, mayors, and governors. To date, the organization has also brought more than 3,000 business leaders to the White House to brief the President's economic advisors. Business leaders who have participated in these briefings have seen their suggestions implemented in the Affordable Care Act, the Jobs Act, three trade agreements, and every one of the President's budgets. Many have also shared their recommendations with their representatives in Congress and through op-eds and interviews with local media. Ninety-eight out of 100 business leaders who have participated in a Business Forward briefing would be interested in participating in another one.
