Our Partnership

Founded in 1992, the Charlotte Regional Partnership is a nonprofit, private/public organization dedicated to the planned growth and prosperity of the Charlotte region. Roughly the size of the state of Massachusetts, our region includes 16 counties - 12 in North Carolina and 4 in South Carolina. Together we are Charlotte USA.

Guided by the leadership of the Charlotte Regional Partnership and its President & CEO, Michael Almond, the organization brings together government and local businesses to market and promote Charlotte USA as a highly competitive, vibrant regional economy with an increasingly attractive quality of life.

Embracing the core belief that there is strength in unity, the community and business leaders of Charlotte USA continue to work together to reinforce the powerful concept of "regionalism." Without a doubt, regionalism is the most effective strategy for global "city-regions" like ours to grow and prosper in the 21st century world economy. As a result, it has become the driving force behind everything we do. If we don't do it, who will?

Throughout the past nine years, the Board of Directors and staff of the Charlotte Regional Partnership have continued to methodically monitor our region's vision, missions, goals and strategies.

Early in 1999, we worked as a team to develop the Charlotte Regional Partnership Strategic Plan, reemphasizing our commitment to strategic targeted marketing and support of our regional professional economic development recruiters as well as giving us new directions in which to provide regional leadership.

As a result of our commitment to the plan, the Charlotte region has made tremendous strides. To learn more about the most recent accomplishments of Charlotte USA or, if you have any additional questions, feel free to contact the Charlotte Regional Partnership at any time.
