The Council on Competitiveness is a non-partisan, non-profit organization whose members are corporate chief executives, university presidents and labor leaders. The members are dedicated to setting an action agenda to drive U.S. economic competitiveness and leadership in global markets. The Council helps shape the national debate on competitiveness by concentrating on a few critical issues including national and regional innovation, competitiveness and security, globalization, workforce development and the benchmarking of U.S. economic performance against other countries. Ms. Miller participated in last year's annual conference held from October 28-30, 2003. The conference agenda was "Challenges in Globalization: National Innovation and Security". Council Chairman, F. Duane Ackerman, Chairman and CEO of BellSouth Corp., presided at the daylong session. The results of a recently completed survey on corporate recognition of the importance of security and competitiveness were presented to the 200-plus attendees. Three panels were featured, highlighting the issues surrounding "Strategies for National Innovation, Competitiveness and Security, and Global Economic Growth". Samuel Palmisano, Chairman and CEO of IBM Corporation, and Wayne Clough, President of the Georgia Institute of Technology, launched a 12 to 18 month "National Innovation Initiative".
