USF President Steve Currall will join some of the nation’s top critical thinkers as
a commissioner of the prestigious U.S. Council on Competitiveness.
Currall was invited to serve on the Council’s National Commission on Innovation and
Competitiveness Frontiers for his ‘tremendous expertise as a nationally recognized
leader on innovation and emerging technology.’ The Commission was formed earlier this
year to help bolster America’s investments in talent, technology, innovation and infrastructure.
Members include university presidents, CEOs of major corporations, national lab directors
and labor leaders.
The non-partisan Council on Competitiveness provides real-world perspective to policymakers
in tackling some of the nation’s emerging challenges to its global leadership and
helps set a rigorous agenda to help drive long-term productivity and economic growth.
