The Argus Foundation

Mission Statement We apply business leadership to important community issues. Vision We apply business leadership to identify, educate, advocate, and collaborate on solutions for important community issues that will enhance the quality of life, environment, and economic well-being of Sarasota County. About Us The Argus Foundation is a non-profit, business membership-based think tank and government watchdog. Its founders were concerned about an anti-business climate in government and wanted to make sure they had a pure, unified business voice, unfiltered by government but solution-oriented and collaborative. Argus was born out of the founders’ concern for future generations. We have a diverse membership from dozens of industries. Our member companies include doctors, lawyers, architects, plumbers, manufacturers, an aeronautics firm, banks, CPAs, restaurants, farmers and a college. There are many more. We require our member businesses to have CEOs or high level executives, decision makers, as member representatives with Argus. We seek to bring together business leaders from our many diverse industries and use their talents and expertise to facilitate communication and an exchange of ideas between the public and private sectors. We care deeply about our community and our leaders care about where they live. We monitor our community and local government issues and take positions on only a handful of them. We come to the table with solutions and suggestions. We are careful to make sure we are not just complainers. We keep a broad community perspective and are a part of creating the future. We search for solutions and try to understand the underlying nature of problems. We don’t expect quick fixes but believe in systematic change and that persistent attention, in time, will move us toward a better community. Over the years, we have tackled critical issues that have led to increased awareness and have advocated for those who cannot advocate for themselves.
