For several years now, I've worked with my friends at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (USCC) to provide the training and support that can help state and
local business leaders become more effective partners in promoting educational improvement.
The idea was borne from a conversation with a constituent in Battery Park City — and it
became law because of the tireless efforts of
local community and
business leaders who worked with us to get it done.
Effective engagement requires that
business leaders invest time and energy to
become acquainted with the issues and the
local stakeholders.
