The Kansas Business Roundtable formed in 2022 to convene leaders to create Kansas solutions that strengthen our communities and state. The Roundtable’s vision is to grow the Kansas economy through innovative and data-driven policy.
Three core values guide the work of the Kansas Business Roundtable and are non-negotiable elements of the organization: Integrity, Collaboration, and Bipartisanship.
Kansas Voices, Kansas Solutions
Feelings and opinions are recruited, the heart is enlarged, and the human mind is developed by no other means than by the reciprocal influence of men upon each other.

Five Foundational Pillars
Infrastructure
Movement is the secret behind our midwest success. Moving products and people across our nation and the world allows Kansas to maintain our competitive position as well as our quality of life.
Innovation
Whether it is our schools, our businesses or our government organizations fearless innovation helps create tomorrow and should be embraced.
Workforce
Business driven workforce solutions require engagement. Without input from those who hire state funding will not be focused on the need and instead will follow the path of least resistance.
Healthcare
Business needs healthy workers and healthcare policy impacts us all. More now than ever, how Kansans interact with healthcare policy has a direct correlation on our quality of life, our productivity and how we balance the positive healthcare outcomes and fiscal constraints.
Civil Society / Good Governance
Engaging in a continual review of how Kansans want to interact with our government is a shared responsibility. Proactively discussing how local governments interact with state governments; how local school districts interact with the state school boards deserves a place for review.
