Business Roundtable, The

The Business Roundtable is an association of chief executive officers of leading U.S. corporations with a combined workforce of more than 10 million employees in the United States. The chief executives are committed to advocating public policies that foster vigorous economic growth; a dynamic global economy; and a well-trained and productive U.S. workforce essential for future competitiveness. Established in 1972, the Roundtable was founded in the belief that chief executives of major corporations should take an increased role in the continuing debates about public policy.

As part of its mission, The Business Roundtable has an Education Task Force that works to improve student achievement in the U.S. and assure that high school graduates are prepared to succeed in today's changing world.
