The Committee for Economic Development of The Conference Board (CED) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, business-led public policy organization. CED's Trustees consist primarily of senior corporate executives from a range of U.S. industries and sectors. CED's stated aims are to sustain and promote free enterprise, improve education and healthcare, reform campaign finance, enhance corporate governance, and improve the fiscal health of the United States.

History

CED was founded in 1942 by a group of business leaders led by Paul G. Hoffman, president of Studebaker Corporation; William Benton, co-founder of Benton & Bowles advertising firm; and Marion B. Folsom, treasurer of Eastman Kodak Company. CED was first formed to help the U.S. economy transition from a wartime to peacetime economy. At the end of World War II, CED successfully worked to garner support among the American business community for the Marshall Plan.

Since its inception, CED has aimed to promote policies that its trustees believe will foster economic growth and development to benefit all Americans. The organization conducts research and outreach efforts in the U.S. and abroad to change policy at the local, state, and national levels. In recent decades, CED has increased access to pre-kindergarten and college, advocated campaign finance reform nationally, placed more women in corporate leadership, and reduced government spending.

In January 2015, the Committee for Economic Development merged with The Conference Board, given the many synergies between the two organizations. Both are non-partisan, non-lobbying, and have trustees comprised mainly from the business community.

Leadership

CED's President (effective January 2020) is Dr.Lori Esposito Murray. Prior to Murray, the organization's president was Bernard Bailey from September 2018 to December 2019, and prior to Bailey the president and CEO since 2013 was Steve Odland. John Gardner is CED's vice president of public policy, and Joseph Minarik is the organization's senior vice president and director of research.. Cindy Cisneros is vice president of education programs. Jessica R. Nicholson is senior economist and Danylo Jaworsky is director of outreach and operations.

Policy research

CED conducts policy research in the following issue areas: fiscal health, education (including early childhood, K-12, and postsecondary), health care, trade/economic globalization, smart regulation, women in corporate leadership, infrastructure, technology & innovation, workforce and sustaining democratic institutions. CED aims to encourage American business leaders to take a more expansive view of their responsibilities by practicing what it calls "business statesmanship" — recognizing that business leaders can promote societal health by engaging in and speaking out for the common good on timely public policy issues.

Policy conferences

CED's policy conferences are forums for trustees, senior policy makers, and industry leaders to discuss pressing national issues that are aligned with CED's core policy areas: the economy, education, global competitiveness, and democratic institutions. To advance reasoned solutions from business in the nation's interest, CED convenes for two days, twice-yearly, to address these seminal economic issues.
