Regional Business Competitiveness
GLI鈥檚 Regional Business Competitiveness Committee focuses on a wide range of different issues, including employment and labor law, tax reform, workers鈥� compensation, unemployment insurance, pension reform, and economic development, just to name a few. The Committee lays the groundwork for one of GLI鈥檚 most important advocacy goals: making 夜色直播 as attractive as possible to current and future employers throughout the region. The key to job growth, increasing wages, and improving the quality of life for all residents of the 夜色直播 region is promoting regionalism and economic growth on both sides of the Ohio River.
