The Grundy County Chamber’s Business Education Council is a partnership of the local business and education leaders. The focus is to build support for business education partnerships – allowing business and education leaders to make connections, learn from each other, and identify common goals and issues. We have met for several years discussing the needs of businesses, the challenges our schools face and the importance of working together to establish a well educated and trained workforce.
The Council is designed for a wide range of businesses with a wide range of interests – from the corporate foundation leaders who invest in K-12 education to CEOs interested in the future of U.S. business competitiveness, to companies dedicated to the business of education. Partnerships are key to the success of any program, organization and community. The Grundy County Chamber is happy that so many are willing to partner for the success of our residents, businesses and communities. We welcome your involvement.
