"Arizona business and education leaders, focused on public policy to support and improve K-12 public education, with linkages to pre-kindergarten and postsecondary education."


"Arizona school children deserve to be prepared for a productive future and Arizona's economic future depends on their preparation.

Every Arizona graduate must be adequately prepared to enter the workforce or higher education and ultimately earn the necessary income in order to enjoy a comfortable standard of life.

Business and education must learn from each other, about each other, and take action together to reach that goal."

- Susan Carlson,
Executive Director, ABEC
