The organization was founded in 2001 to expand engagement by business CEOs in building a better future for Memphis and its people.
We have three major priorities — high quality cradle-to-career education, inclusive economic growth, and public safety – towards fulfilling a shared vision of prosperity and great quality of life for all Memphians.
Our primary operating principle is collaboration.
In every project, every initiative, we are guided by and work hand in hand with a diverse array of partners — from public sector, nonprofits, experts and citizens from all walks of life and all parts of Memphis — usually through a formal planning process. That’s because complex challenges aren’t solved by a single sector or entity; rather, they require collective action by many with shared goals.
Our CEOs believe in corporate citizenship and recognize that their active, collaborative participation in helping shape our community’s future is an honor, a responsibility, and an ingredient for Memphis’ collective success. Because it takes all of us to build a better Memphis.
