Big change can happen.

MBAE defines the role that businesses should play in education policy and innovation. We know that when the business community goes all in, big change can happen. How we activate and amplify the voice of business in policymaking:

• Identifying opportunities for the business community to weigh in on education policy via access and advocacy to decision makers and leading the conversation in the public space.
• Representing business on state committees and commissions charged with shaping policy.
• Producing research to inform the debate on key issues and developing content for companies to demonstrate their commitment to education.
Testifying at hearings and before commissions and inviting our members and affiliates to join us.
• Initiating and leading discussions on key issues that impact workforce and equity via events and social media.
• Incorporating leaders who represent the full diversity of our corporate community into our organizational governance and strategic planning.
