Jefferson Business Council Jefferson Business Council The Jefferson Business Council is a membership organization composed of senior and civic business leaders, primarily representing large employers with 100 or more employees across sectors such as banking, law, real estate, insurance, engineering, and healthcare. The private company is based in Metairie, LA. Membership is by nomination and approval, with an emphasis on community involvement and business credentials. The council’s mission is to promote economic development, enhance quality of life, and advocate for public policies benefiting Jefferson Parish and the surrounding river region. It serves as a unified voice for the business community, fostering partnerships with government and regional stakeholders to address issues including flood protection, crime, education, healthcare, infrastructure, beautification, insurance, and redevelopment projects. The council participates in legislative monitoring and regional coalitions, and conducts the "Jefferson Now" quality of life survey to gather resident feedback on living conditions, economic environment, and public services. Insights from the survey guide collaborative action plans.
