Descriptiontext

Greater Sacramento Economic Council (GSEC) is a private non-profit regional economic development organization headquartered in Sacramento, California, serving the Greater Sacramento region including Sacramento and West Sacramento. With a headcount of 11–50 employees, the council operates as the region's lead facilitator of economic development, providing business attraction, site selection assistance, workforce development, and public-private partnership coordination to companies considering relocation or expansion. The organization is led by President and CEO Barry Broome and pursues two principal strategic agendas: (i) recruiting a Major League Baseball expansion franchise via the 'Sacramento Pitch' campaign, supported by $1.8 billion in public-private commitments and a fully entitled 50-acre stadium site at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento; and (ii) building a semiconductor and advanced-technology cluster, anchored by nine global chip companies and leveraging the region's 26x higher semiconductor growth capital concentration versus the U.S. average.

The council has no commercial products or proprietary technology platform, and pricing is not applicable to its operating model. Its core 'products' are services and convening functions: regional economic data and market intelligence used in business recruitment pitches, direct enterprise outreach by senior leadership to site selectors and corporate decision-makers, coordination of municipal incentives (notably $1B in tax increment financing from the City of West Sacramento), and high-profile campaign marketing through PR Newswire, Bloomberg, and other earned media channels. Its customer base is segmented horizontally across MLB expansion investors, technology and semiconductor companies, and broader relocating businesses.

Revenue mechanics are non-commercial: the council is funded through a combination of member dues, municipal and county government contributions, foundation grants, and corporate sponsorships — none of which are individually disclosed. Recent organizational changes in March 2026 included the departure of Troels Adrian and the addition of Anna Campbell, coinciding with the intensified MLB campaign launch in May 2026. No ownership structure, board composition, or financial statements are disclosed in the available sources.
