Economic Partnership (a city leaders group)

York’s Economic Partnership is a partnership body bringing together employers, entrepreneurs, education providers, employee representatives, sector representatives and City of York Council.  It meets twice per year. The Board is responsible for helping to implement and monitor the York Economic Strategy 2022-32.  It forms part of the city’s partnership structures, with the City Leaders Group providing overall direction.  Through its work, the Board will seek to facilitate a deep and long lasting partnership to support the advancement and achievement of the aims set out in York’s Economic Strategy.  Beyond agreeing its own business, the Board is not a decision making body but will advise and make recommendations to the Council.
