Each council is intended to be a working group comprised of individuals who have experience and understanding to conduct outreach and develop the work. There are opportunities for CEO’s, directors, and other leaders who are given the time to tackle issues and partner with Greater IC staff to facilitate the programs.
We collaborate with the business community, local stakeholders, and regional partners to develop our yearly policy agenda to create a unified voice for the region. We are a non-partisan organization that does not endorse or donate to political candidates. We support First Amendment rights for all people and encourage elected officials, candidates, and citizens to be civil during discussions and debates on policy issues and when expressing political opinions. We are committed to leading by example.
The Cedar Rapids Metro Economic Alliance and Greater Iowa City, Inc. annually recommend and support positions on key policy issues affecting our region and state’s economic growth. These recommendations are made with significant input from our combined 2,000 members, investors, partners, and community stakeholders.
Greater IC is focused on building productive public-private partnerships, and a key stakeholder in all our work are our local municipalities – Iowa City, Coralville, and North Liberty. As such, we are creating advocacy statements for each city to focus on specific, actionable ideas that align with our urban planning principles and address challenges faced by the business community. These advocacy statements are:
The intent of these statements is to be clear about our priorities and create opportunities for productive discussions. We will make progress toward our goals by convening groups and facilitating conversation.
