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.

With input from our members, The Regional Business Council tackles the tough issues facing the health of our region in five critical arenas: regional governance, higher education, K-12 education, business diversity, and quality of life. Our success in focusing less on talk and more on action has made us the “go-to organization” among our civic partners and elected leadership as the organization 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 this region a great place to work and live.

Sincerely,

L. B. Eckelkamp, Jr.
