Civic Business Initiative

Director: Mark Gordon, Senior HNP Fellow

The Civic Business Initiative (CBI) is a non-partisan initiative designed to lessen the likelihood, and mitigate the impact, of negative outcomes around the 2024 election cycle and beyond for business, free enterprise, and the United States as a well-functioning constitutional republic. Alongside expert partners, CBI facilitates meetings of select groups of leading business executives to help them prepare for upcoming political challenges head-on, with the best counsel, insights, and support from their peers as well as experts in communications, stakeholder negotiations, political strategy, democracy, and overcoming polarization. CBI also aims to produce innovative thought leadership about how the private sector might shape the environment by employing the these concepts and skills to lessen the likelihood of institutional breakdown.
