Innovation Councils structure our work. Each council is a “working” group comprised of individuals who have experience and understanding to conduct outreach and develop the work. In order to help develop leadership skills in investor companies, these members are not necessarily intended to be CEOs, rather directors or other leadership that will be given the time to tackle issues and review or partner with Greater IC staff to facilitate the programs.
Business Support Innovation Council
Economic Development Innovation Council
Community Development Innovation Council
Our Ambassadors are the face of Greater IC. They welcome new businesses to the community and celebrate milestones of longstanding businesses. They connect and support our businesses – one connection at a time.
We are invested in this community, both personally and professionally, serving on over 25 boards and organizations. We believe in giving back to our community to help our area grow. We continue to outpace national trends for economic growth but we know now is not the time for complacency. We want to keep driving innovation and ensure our future is strong and sustainable.
