Every business
is affected by government rules and regulations. That's why so
many companies believe in the importance of communication with
public officials. For some companies, that means working with
representatives on the federal level. But many others are quickly
learning the value of communication with officials on the local
level. In fact, the national trend toward governmental devolution
has led to an increase in corporate relationships with local
administrators. For their part, local administrators have worked
hard to accommodate the needs of the people they serve without
compromising commercial growth that can generate jobs and economic
prosperity. Our organization, County Executives of America, believes
that a balance must be struck between the public and private
sector if we are all to progress in the 21st century. And the
best way to create balance is to work together to solve the many
economic challenges that face our communities every day.

In order to
identify, address and resolve significant policy issues at the
county level, county executives are choosing to consult with
those in the business community on important issues such as environmental
regulation, public safety, health care and economic development.
That's why County Executives of America has created the Associate
Member Program, a strong network of public-private partnerships
between local government leaders and the business community.
The program is built for the express purpose of exchanging ideas
and contemplating new, innovative, and sometimes experimental
solutions to pressing challenges at the local government level.
Together, businesses and local governments can collaborate on
creating opportunities for the people they serve.
The Associate
Member Program also helps businesses of all kinds understand
the local market by working directly with local leaders who make
critical economic decisions for their communities. County Executives
of America is already working with some of the top corporate
leaders in the nation. Our Associate Members have included firms
like 3M, Kraft, VISA, and Honeywell. Through our program, these
firms participate in an advanced information network helping
county executives across the nation communicate with them. This
allows business and county leaders to get the right information
from the right people so they could make the smartest economic
development decisions.
