The governor, along with a representative from the private sector, serves as board co-chairs. This dynamic and unique mix of the public/private sector enables the Foundation to provide the leadership needed to address issues facing the state and achieve the Foundation’s strategic vision of business growth, education and workforce development, and government efficiency.
