Effective June 2026, the Committee for Economic Development (CED), the public policy center of The Conference Board, has moved forward under a new name: The CEO Center.
Founded in 1942 amid the Second World War, CED has long been the premier forum for America's business leaders to advance reasoned, non-partisan solutions in the nation’s interest.
Over more than eight decades, CED has helped shape public policy on issues ranging from postwar economic growth (including the Marshall Plan and Bretton Woods Agreement) to education reform, corporate governance, fiscal responsibility, workforce development, and more. In 2015, CED joined The Conference Board to amplify its impact and bring its tradition of CEO-led policy leadership to a broader global network of business executives and policymakers.
As The CEO Center, the organization will build on its role within The Conference Board by expanding corporate engagement through new programs, research initiatives, and broader policy coverage. Its work will focus on three strategic pillars:
- CEO Convenings — Connecting CEOs through exclusive conversations that spark insight, relationships, and leadership impact.
- Knowledge Partnerships — Transforming Member expertise into influential ideas that shape business thinking and public dialogue.
- Policy Impact — Advancing business-led solutions that inform policy and make a measurable difference at the highest levels of government.
