Business for America’s “Across the Aisle” roundtable brought together cross-sector leaders from business, government, and public affairs to answer pressing questions such as: “What role should business play in politics? What does effective engagement look like in this era of distrust, gridlock, and rising political risk? And how can business leaders help rebuild the political center — where collaboration and progress can still thrive?” The event highlighted the importance of focusing on common goals, convening diverse voices, and building trust through cross‑sector collaboration.
