Chairman's Message

The Regional Business Council is a unique organization. Representing 100 business leaders, member companies collectively employ more than 100,000 associates and generate more than 50 billion dollars in annual revenue. Our dedication to building this region into a world-class economy is evident in the time, energy and resources that we strategically invest.

We are committed to the health and vitality of our region and each of us rolls up our sleeves and is personally committed to:

• Developing business friendly public policy
• Increasing talent retention and attraction throughout the bi-state region
• Strengthening regional transportation and cultural assets
• Supporting education reforms in the City of St. Louis
• Developing an inclusive business climate

Our approach is strategic and focused. We work together to achieve real outcomes for the region. Through our spirit of collaboration and vision for the region’s quality of life we are a collective voice for the business community, working with civic partners and elected leaders to make things happen for the region.

I am honored not only to be a part of this tremendous organization but to have the opportunity to work together with my colleagues to make our bi-state region a great place to work and live.

Sincerely,

John Tracy
