Our goal is to defend and preserve the system of free enterprise in the United States for future generations so entrepreneurship can flourish, resulting in job creation. Job Creators Alliance has a core membership group of retired CEOs and entrepreneurs who are the spokespeople for a marketing campaign to defend and preserve free enterprise. JCA also accepts members who wish to support its mission and goal financially through a tax-deductible donation, joining hundreds of other members who receive our e-newsletter and are kept informed on the job creators issues of the day and on the progress of our marketing campaign.MembersOur members are visionary, yet down-to-earth job creators, chosen for their experience in successfully creating private sector jobs in America. Their individual stories personify the American success story. These credentials transcend partisan divides and qualify them to communicate a real-world vision of what it takes to build a brighter economic future for all Americans, including the middle class, women and minorities. These select, job-creating business leaders have created private sector employment and are the best defenders of free enterprise in the court of public opinion. They speak from personal experience rather than from inside the Beltway or from their ivory towers. Several job creators will offer personal stories about rising from poverty to success – the embodiment of The American Dream.Jeanette GoodmanPresident: * Plans, manages and directs JCA’s efforts, including JCA’s marketing and messaging team, strategic plan, member recruitment and all JCA programs. * Has more than 30 years’ experience in top-level management positions developing, directing and implementing various marketing and promotional campaigns * Raised over $86.5 million and reached one billion people through media efforts for the National Center for Policy Analysis, a nonprofit public policy research organization. * Planned, managed and directed Free Our Health Care Now, the largest online petition drive ever delivered to Congress, which recruited 1.35 million Americans, generated over one million letters to Congress and added over 500,000 Policy Patriot Members to the NCPA * Directed marketing, PR, advertising and investor relations for Overhead Door Corporation and marketing for National Chemsearch, both 500+ million dollar corporations. * Holds MBA in business administration and B.S. in marketing. * Served as National Founding Partner of Women Impacting Public Policy.Tony Fratto* Serves as part of JCA’s core message team, implementing media strategy and bookings; providing executive message training, briefing and interview prep for JCA spokespeople. * Member of Hamilton Place Strategies consulting firm, addressing current economic policy issues as an on-air contributor for CNBC Business News Network and CNBC.com columnist. * Served as White House deputy assistant and principal deputy press secretary in the George W.
