Welcome.US CEO Council
The Welcome.US CEO Council brings together America's most influential companies to help Americans as they welcome newcomers and ensure they thrive.
The CEO Council mobilizes private sector resources, innovations, and employees to provide support to Americans who are welcoming those seeking refuge in the U.S., dramatically expanding our nation’s capacity to welcome newcomers.
“We have learned that companies can make a greater impact in our communities when we share resources and learnings. I am deeply grateful to all of the CEOs who have committed the resources of their companies to expand the impact of Welcome.US through the CEO Council."
CEO Council priorities and impact
The Welcome.US CEO Council launched with two missions: respond to urgent displacement crises and transform the resettlement system.
By leveraging private sector resources and innovations and amplifying them with the contributions of millions of Americans donating their time, resources, and expertise, the CEO Council has helped scale the provision of essential goods, technology, and services; quality jobs and legal aid; and opportunities for communities to welcome newcomers in need of safety. This includes the design, development, and launch of Welcome Connect, a platform that allowed Americans to offer safety and community to newcomers fleeing violence and persecution.
