Welcome Welcome to the Committee for Economic Development’s 2013 Distinguished Performance Awards Dinner. Tonight we are proud to honor six business leaders who have demonstrated exceptional leadership in their companies and across their communities. Howard Schultz of Starbucks is this year’s recipient of the Peter G. Peterson Business Statesmanship Award. Howard’s commitment to the well-being of his employees, and support for fixing both political dysfunction in Washington, and the federal budget deficit, make him incredibly deserving of this award. We are proud to recognize fellow Trustee, Edward Rust, with CED’s inaugural Owen B. Butler Education Excellence Award, established in honor of Brad Butler, former Chairman and CEO of Procter & Gamble, and former CED Chairman. The award recognizes an individual’s exceptional commitment to quality education, skills development, and workforce training programs. As former Chair of CED’s Education Policy Subcommittee, Ed is a true leader in the education world. Ken Powell is the recipient of this year’s Distinguished Performance Award for Corporate Citizenship. Among his many accolades, Ken and General Mills have made great strides in addressing the challenges facing its operating communities tied to nutrition, education, and the environment. Ken and General Mills are also strong supporters of advancing the careers of women, and workplace equality. As a champion of women in the workplace, we are pleased to honor Daniel Akerson with the 2013 Distinguished Performance Award for Leadership in Diversity. By advocating for and placing more women on corporate boards, Dan and General Motors have proactively addressed the challenges women face in corporate America. Dan and GM have also given millions in scholarship money for women and minorities to pursue degrees in STEM related fields. Kenneth Frazier is this year’s recipient of the Distinguished Performance Award for Excellence in Public Policy. Ken has made considerable impact across the policy areas of education, fiscal health, and political disclosure. And finally, we are delighted to present the Distinguished Performance Award for Trustee Leadership to Joseph Kasputys, a CED leader for nearly three decades. Among Joe’s numerous accomplishments, he founded IHS Global Insight and is currently Chairman of Economic Ventures. He has made considerable impact in the CED policy areas of Fiscal Health and Global Financial Imbalances, and served as Co-Chair of the Board from 2006-2008. On behalf of CED’s entire Board of Trustees, thank you for your continued support of both the Committee for Economic Development and these exceptional leaders. Roger W. Ferguson, Jr. Carl T. Camden President and CEO President and CEO TIAA-CREF Kelly Services, Inc. Committee For Economic Development Reasoned solutions from business in the nation’s interest The Committee for Economic Development (CED) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, business-led, public policy organization that delivers well-researched analysis and reasoned solutions to our nation’s most critical issues. We are proud to highlight CED’s strong legacy of engaging leaders in public policy and look forward to recognizing the many companies and individuals who have been part of that legacy. Since its inception in 1942, CED has addressed national priorities that promote sustained economic growth and development to benefit all Americans. These activities have helped shape the future on issues ranging from the Marshall Plan in the late 1940s, to education reform in the past three decades, and campaign finance reform since 2000. CED’s research findings are coupled with multi-pronged outreach efforts throughout the country and abroad, achieving tangible impact at the local, state, and national levels. Our nation needs renewed business leadership to reach the goals that we all share, including robust economic growth, increased educational and job opportunities, and rapid productivity. We need civil dialogue to address these challenges, and we need great statesmen to lead, influence, and support the discussions. Thank you for your support of our six honorees and CED’s Distinguished Performance Awards Dinner.

  • From Community to Prosperity
    FROM COMMUNITY TO PROSPERITY Ben Hecht Living Cities “Past performance should not be seen as an indicator of future success.” nyone who has ever had to decide among investment options, whether for retirement, an endowment, or savings, should be familiar with this warning. Just because a certain investment achieved a 20 percent return over the past 10 years does not mean it will Aperform anywhere close to that over the next 10. No admoni- tion is more appropriate for the community development industry today. Since the 1960s, this sector has grown and produced staggering returns: billions of dollars in private capital invested; millions of affordable housing units built; the development of an extraor- dinary number of high-performing local, regional, and national 192 Investing in What Works for America’s Communities 11292_Text_CS5_r1.indd 192 9/11/12 2:08 PM nonprofit organizations; and the creation of the most successful private-public partnership the nation has ever seen, the Low Income Housing Tax Credit. These successes were largely achieved in a different era, before community was redefined by revolutionary forces of change— primarily, globalization and the internet—that have reshaped not only America but also the world and America’s place in it. Despite the heady successes in this sector, our work has not had the effect that many of us intended: a material impact on the number of Americans living in poverty. Our long-held assumptions about the levers required to address poverty in a globalized world, and the appropriate role of place in that effort, are being challenged. Community development must move from an industry viewed by many as focused on managing decline—think older industrial cities—to one that is ushering change in new collaborative ways, disrupting obsolete and fragmented systems, keeping an eye on underinvested places, and connecting low-income people to economic opportunities wherever they exist in this hyperconnected world.

These nations know that losing the have developed sophisticated competitiveness race means fewer jobs and slower growth. Despite this, competitiveness few nations, including the United States, have developed sophisticated strategies. competitiveness strategies. Rather, most competitiveness strategies focus on broad measures such as improving the business environment or supporting better factor inputs for firms. While necessary, these steps do not constitute an effective competitiveness strategy. Policymakers must go much deeper. An effective competitiveness strategy starts with a detailed “SWOT” analysis—assessing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats—for key traded industries and the country’s overall innovation system. It then tailors policy responses according to the findings. Part I of this report provides an overview of competitiveness, including what it is, why nations need it, and how countries become more or less competitive. It then examines the past and current competitiveness performance of the United States and a selection of other developed and developing nations, highlighting how much less competitive the U.S. economy is today compared to two decades ago. It then discusses the history of competitiveness policies since World War II, how they have evolved, and how they differ between nations. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATION FOUNDATION | DECEMBER 2017 PAGE 1 Part II provides a framework for thinking about competitiveness and national competitiveness policies, including whether nations actually compete and, if they do, on what basis.

    10 NEWS SUNDAY OCTOBER 29 2017 Don’t blink, says Liveris GLENDA KORPORAAL NT product shares secret to his high-flying business achievements DARWIN-BORN DowDu- Pont executive chairman An- drew Liveris has some advice for leaders under pressure. “Never blink,” he says in an interview with the Sunday Ter- ritorian. “Never show any fear. “Always show your best face to your organisation be- cause confidence starts with the leader.” Mr Liveris was speaking from Dow’s headquarters in Michigan on the eve of receiv- ing a lifetime achievement award from the Australian American Association in New York on Friday. Being a CEO, he said, was a “lonely job”. The 63-year-old has been chief executive of Dow Chemi- cals since 2004 and its chair- man since 2006. In August this year, he became executive chairman of the newly merged DowDuPont, overseeing the company with former DuPont chief Edward Breen, who is CEO of the combined group. The merger, which has just been finalised, is the culmi- nation of a strategy Mr Liveris has been pursuing since he took over as Dow chief execu- tive, having worked his way up the ranks of the company he joined as a production engin- eer in Melbourne more than 40 years ago. His 13 years at the helm of a Fortune 500 company make him one of the most successful Australians in corporate America. The international success of Darwin-born Andrew Liveris has led to him being honoured with a lifetime achievement award from the Australian American Association in Reflecting on his time in the New York on Friday.
