For the last few years, business leaders who are members of the NC Business Committee for Education have been invited by Governor Perdue to gather at the Executive Mansion for the annual All Member meeting in November.

This annual event highlights the state’s vision for education as it relates to the work of NCBCE. Governor Perdue’s remarks consistently focus on the importance of business and education partnerships for a bright future in North Carolina.

Initiatives such as First Gentleman Bob Eaves’ Students@Work are highlighted at this annual meeting. NCBCE members partner with the First Gentleman through Students@Work which is designed to connect academics and the workplace for middle school students across the state.

At this meeting at the Executive Mansion NCBCE leadership optimize this once a year occasion to provide an overview of accomplishments and engagement opportunities in which NCBCE has been involved throughout the year. NCBCE members have an intimate opportunity to discuss how the strength and leverage of the collective NCBCE corporate voice help to inform the education policy and practice in our state.

As NCBCE moves forward, focus groups, webinars, and other experiences are continuously planned. Participation in these opportunities is a great way to gain a “deeper dive” and give you ideas for ways you and your employees can be involved in meaningful ways to ensure that North Carolina’s students are prepared for life and work in the 21st century.

Now more than ever, public/private partnerships such as NCBCE will ensure that North Carolina continues to move forward.
