WHO WE ARE

Vision Shared was created in 2000 as a public-private partnership to bring together business, labor, government and other diverse interests to develop a strategy that will sustain West Virginia and make our state more economically competitive. Today, Vision Shared is a nonprofit organization dedicated to continuing that mission and building on the successes to date.

Vision Shared structures its activities among four steering committees, each with its own volunteer teams (click on each to learn more):

• Intellectual Infrastructure
• New Economy
• Results-Based Government
• Building Bridges & Empowering Citizens

These four focus areas cover a vast majority of the challenges West Virginia faces now and will face in the future. In recent years, Vision Shared has focused on improving education from early childhood development to quality standards throughout the educational system. We have pursued technology-based economic development, entrepreneurship, creative communities and sustainable development to promote “New Economy” growth in our state.

Vision Shared volunteers work with the governor's administration and with the state legislature to address issues such as the health and education of our citizens, our business development needs, our energy resources and our environment. We are devoted to uniting diverse individuals and groups to improve West Virginia's image, to create and retain human resources, to strengthen the network of non-profit organizations and to develop tomorrow’s leaders.
