Who are the Visionaries
Allen County Visionaries, Inc. was formed in the summer of 1993 as the private sector partner in our region’s economic development activities.

Its membership consists of individuals and businesses who share a deep concern for the economic health of our community.

Economic Development Partnership in Allen County
In Allen County the political and business leadership jointly determined that the responsibility for economic development belonged to both the public and private sectors of our community. The county and most of the municipalities provide 50 percent of the financing, and the private sector, through membership in the Visionaries, provides the other 50 percent.

Membership
Members become an integral part of the economic development effort; are kept well informed with regular updates and newsletters; are involved in the business and social aspects of the organization; and help Allen County grow and prosper.

In addition, members will have a voice in the policy decisions regarding the private sector’s role in economic development, and will participate in the governance of the organization. Members of Allen County Visionaries, Inc. recognize the benefits of a successful economic development effort to themselves, their company, and the region. They also recognize a responsibility to fund the regional efforts, and that there are differences, between companies; and individuals; ability to honor this responsibility.

The cost of members therefore is differentiated based upon size and type of company. Despite the differences in membership cost, the rights and privileges of each member will be identical.

Organization
Allen County Visionaries, Inc. is a non-profit corporation organized under Section 1702 of the Ohio Revised Code, exempt from Federal Income Tax under Section 201 © (6) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. Its purposes are:
A.)  To promote and stimulate economic growth and development in the Allen County region through participation in all matters of business and professional interest to the community working with members of the public and private sectors.
B.)  To do all things necessary and incidental to the carrying out of such purposes.

Allen County Visionaries, Inc. is executive officers and board of trustees.
