REGIONAL BUSINESS COUNCIL strives to unite and engage members to act on high-impact business, civic, and philanthropic affairs for the betterment of the St. Louis region. It is composed of 100 CEOs representing some of the region’s largest employers. These companies have a tremendous impact on the economic and overall health of the region; they employ more than 120,000 people and generate more than $65 billion in revenue annually. Most RBC companies are headquartered in the region, and all have a vested interest in the development of the region’s 15 counties. The collective effort of RBC members is dramatically expanding the breadth and depth of involvement and investment in our three strategic priorities, which are K-12 education, talent development, and public safety.
