Membership

The core of Southern Growth’s mission is to bring people together—from government, businesses, nonprofits and universities—to work collaboratively in creating the highest quality of life for the Southern region. Corporate and nonprofit associate members provide Southern Growth not only important support, but also strategic guidance for ongoing policy research and discussion forums.

Associate membership in Southern Growth Policies Board provides access to a diverse cross-section of leaders and the opportunity to participate in strategy-level discussions to promote the economic health and growth of the region. Conferences, advisory council meetings, focus groups and events provide associate members the opportunity to network with stakeholders from throughout the South and to get a broad perspective of the issues facing the region.

Southern Growth’s conferences and events provide a medium for private and public organizations to weigh in on policies that will affect the business environment and quality of life for their employees. Our unique public-private partnership provides members the opportunity to have a direct impact on shaping policies to create a dynamic and sustainable economy for the region.
