Posted on Tuesday, 21 October 2008 10:37AM by Editor
Chairman and CEO of Caterpillar CEO Jim Owens was elected as the Chairman of the Business Council recently. He will serve for a two year term succeeding W. James McNerney, Jr., Chairman, President & CEO of The Boeing Company, beginning in January 2009.

Elected with Owens as Vice Chairmen were:
James Dimon, Chairman, CEO & President, JPMorgan Chase & Co.

G. Richard Wagoner, Jr., Chairman & CEO, General Motors Corporation
Ronald A. Williams, Chairman & CEO, Aetna Inc.

The Business Council was originally formed in 1933 as The Business Advisory Council for the Department of Commerce. In 1961 its scope was broadened to include advisory functions to all elements of the national government.

Today the Council is a learning, networking and best practice sharing organization for the chief executive officers of the world's most competitive enterprises. The Council is not an advocacy group and will not take positions on public policy. Membership is personal, by invitation only and non-transferable.

Members of the council meet three times a year to discuss public policy and economic issues relevant to the members' businesses with top officials of government and other thought leaders in academia, science, technology and society at large.
