The voice of corporate social responsibility and civic leadership in Massachusetts.

Our Services

  • Intimate Member Luncheons

    We host exclusive, members-only luncheon conversations with Massachusetts elected officials, policymakers, and influential thought leaders. Limited to an intimate group of no more than 50 attendees, these luncheons provide a unique opportunity for members to network with business leaders and gain firsthand insights into cutting-edge policies shaping housing, transportation, and climate technology. Recent speakers include Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll and Massachusetts Clean Energy Center CEO Emily Reichert.

  • Public Policy & Thought Leadership

    We work with policy makers and coalition partners on initiatives and public policy solutions to address some of the biggest challenges facing Massachusetts. We offer our members a variety of opportunities to expand their thought leadership opportunities through engaging in earned media, serving on policy councils, being appointed to state commissions, and more.

  • Networking Opportunities

    We bring together like-minded peers in the business community who are committed to corporate social responsibility and civic leadership, and provide meaningful opportunities to connect with legislators, researchers, and policy experts.

Social responsibility + economic growth

= a thriving Commonwealth.

The Alliance for Business Leadership (ABL) is a coalition of business leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, and professionals at all levels who believe that social responsibility and economic growth go hand-in-hand. Since 2008, we have been a leading voice among the business community focusing on renewable energy, affordable housing, transportation, and workforce development and equity as key factors to create an inclusive economy where all our residents can participate. We are dedicated to cultivating and empowering the next generation of business leaders.

We hosted the Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts, Kim Driscoll to speak to our membership. The event, moderated by Sandy Lish of The Castle Group, focused on improving housing, education, clean energy, and workforce development in our state.
