Policy Priorities
Where Business Leads for the Public Good
At the Roundtable, we believe Tennessee’s long-term prosperity depends on smart, forward-thinking policy—shaped not only by lawmakers, but by the business leaders who live its impact every day. Our policy efforts focus on a key question:
What must our state do today to position Tennesseans and our businesses to be successful
in a decade or a generation from now?
Our Process
Each year, we connect with member-company executives through in-depth discussions and surveys to capture the pulse of the business community. We transform these insights into an Agenda for Tennessee—a strategic roadmap of annual policy priorities directly addressing the top concerns of Tennessee’s business leaders - not just for the benefit of our businesses, but as we our Roundtable's motto affirms, "Not for Ourselves Alone, But for All Tennessee".
We are focused on four key areas:
Competitiveness
Creating a business climate in which companies thrive through tax and regulatory certainty, freedom to innovate, state fiscal discipline, and a fair and independent judiciary, welcoming all committed to respecting the law and each other who want to contribute to Tennessee’s economic prosperity.
