Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce Foundation

The Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce is the largest business association in Los Angeles County, providing a common voice for business and backing collaborations among its members that improve the region’s economic prosperity and quality of life. The LA Chamber partners with the Community Growth Educational Foundation of the American Chamber of Commerce to undertake the activities outlined in its grant recommendation above.

These combined organizations serve over 7,000 executive managers in 1,200 local, regional, and state chambers of commerce. This grant would educate business leaders about how implementation and assessment of Common Core standards will promote deeper learning. The groups will develop plans to establish a working collective of regional chambers charged with setting a reform agenda for increasing college- and career-readiness.
