Our Coalition
Recognizing the significant economic headwinds that Virginia faces due to federal sequestration and reliance on public-sector jobs, business leaders from across the state launched the GO Virginia Initiative to drive private-sector growth, create higher-paying jobs, and foster regional collaboration in every region of the Commonwealth.
The GO Virginia Coalition was established to support that effort and is now made up of over 90 organizations and over 20,000 individuals, many of which are actively contributing to the work of GO Virginia in their regions.
