Its members come from a cross-section of industries and include CEOs of large corporations like General Motors, Wal-Mart, IBM and Boeing.
The news release further notes, "Members of the Forum will be charged with providing their individual views to the President...on how government policy impacts economic growth, job creation, and productivity. The Forum is designed to provide direct input to the President from many of the best and brightest in the business world in a frank, non-bureaucratic, and non-partisan manner."
The group is scheduled to meet in early February at the White House.
