Trump’s Transition Team in a statement on
Wednesday said the president-elect also announced
three additional members to join the forum.

“Earlier this month, President-elect Trump established
the President’s Strategic and Policy Forum and
announced an initial round of 16 members.

“The Forum is composed of some of America’s most
highly respected and successful business leaders.
“They will be called upon to meet with the President
frequently to share their specific experience and
knowledge as the President implements his economic
agenda.
“The Forum will be chaired by Stephen A.
Schwarzman, the Chairman, CEO, and Co-Founder of
Blackstone.
“America has the most innovative and vibrant
companies in the world, and the pioneering CEOs
joining this Forum today are at the top of their fields,”
Trump said.

According to Trump, my administration is going to
work together with the private sector to improve the
business climate and make it attractive for firms to
create new jobs across the United States from Silicon
Valley to the heartland.

Members of the Forum are to provide their individual
views to the President, informed by their unique
vantage points in the private sector 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.

With Wednesday’s announcement of three additional
members, the individuals on the Forum now include:
Adebayo “Bayo” Ogunlesi, Chairman and Managing
Partner, Global Infrastructure Partners;” Paul Atkins,
CEO, Patomak Global Partners, LLC, Former
Commissioner for the Securities and Exchange
Commission; and Mary Barra, Chairman and CEO,
General Motors, among others.
