The Greater Wichita Partnership is a nonprofit organization based in Wichita, Kansas, serving the city and a 10-county region. It coordinates resources and directs the local business community toward shared strategies intended to accelerate economic growth. The organization centers its work on three strategic priorities—jobs, talent, and quality of place—guided by 2018 plans known as the Regional Growth Plan, the Talent Marketing Blueprint, and Project Wichita, with consideration given to the downtown development master plan, Project Downtown. Its activities are carried out under affiliate brands including Downtown Wichita, Choose Wichita, and the Air Capital of the World. The partnership engages employers and talent professionals through initiatives such as a Morning Meet-Up series, which provides a forum to discuss workforce challenges and culture-building efforts. Leadership and stakeholder engagement are reflected in developments like the appointment of a vice president of investor relations in 2021. The organization is a small-to-mid-sized operation focused on aligning regional resources to support economic growth in its city and surrounding counties.
