Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives Foundation

The Community Growth Educational Foundation (CGEF) supports the mission of the American Chamber of Commerce Executives by providing chamber CEOs with tools, research, and knowledge. With this renewal grant, in partnership with the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, CGEF would offer online resources for education and action, host a multiday academy for chamber executives, highlight leading practices, and coach self-selected chamber memberships to more effectively support educational reforms that advance deeper learning instruction and assessment. These activities will help the business community become a strong voice in public education reform discussions about college- and career-readiness for all young people.
