About Leadership Council Southwestern Illinois

Since 1983, the Leadership Council Southwestern Illinois has been the premier organization fostering economic growth in Madison and St. Clair counties. We developed the first regional economic development agenda, and for almost 30 years, our organization has strengthened public/private partnerships throughout Southwestern Illinois to lay the foundation for job growth and retention.

Our Structure »

The Leadership Council’s membership includes approximately 150 top executives and decision makers from the five sectors we unite, providing a level of diversity that makes the organization unique. Cooperation and collaboration among our members and local community-based organizations have in many ways helped reshape Southwestern Illinois - strengthening our infrastructure, protecting and enhancing our major employers, building consensus on key issues, and cultivating a positive labor-management environment. We foster relationships on both sides of the river, recognizing that our efforts have an impact that affects not just Southwestern Illinois, but the entire St. Louis region.

The Leadership Council is a 501(c)6 that is guided by a 16-member executive committee dedicated to moving our region forward. The organization’s work is supported by two full time employees - an Executive Director and Office Manager - along with membership volunteers.
