The CEO Fiscal Leadership Council is comprised of business leaders committed to mobilizing local, state and national support to persuade Congress to enact, and the President to sign, a comprehensive debt deal large enough to stabilize and reduce the federal debt as a share of the economy.

In order to succeed, the campaign for a comprehensive debt deal requires the broad, explicit support of the business community, both publicly and in private discussions with elected officials. Our CEO/Business Leaders Fiscal Leadership Council exists to facilitate just this type of support and engagement.
