What is the American Business CounCil?
About us
The American Business Council is set to be the largest network of business leaders still guided by traditional values. Our value system is rooted in, but not limited to, the appreciation of capitalism, hard work, and family as well as the love of God and love of Country,
Charter
The council's main charter is to establish and maintain a network that supports the sharing of business-critical operating insights while providing the opportunity for people to learn more about emerging, independent brands. We encourage all companies to apply for membership as we look to grow this network into all sectors.
Our Spirit
Woke corporations have hijacked our idea of what it means to go-to-work and have done significant damage to our culture more broadly. We need a network of our own so we can grow our own community as we make stronger businesses that will compete in the years ahead. They said "if you don't like it, build your own". Well, here we are!
