Since its inception in 1942, CED has addressed national priorities to promote sustained economic growth and development to benefit all Americans. CED’s work in those first few years led to great policy accomplishments, including the [[Marshall Plan]], the economic development program that helped rebuild Europe and maintain the peace; and the [[Bretton Woods system|Bretton Woods Agreement]] that established the new global financial system, and both the [[World Bank]] and [[International Monetary Fund]].

Today, CED continues to play an important role through its trusted research and advocacy. Comprised of leading business executives, CED lends its voice and expertise on pressing policy issues. In recent decades, CED has made significant contributions across a broad portfolio, including: [[Pre-kindergarten|pre-K education]] importance and funding, bipartisan campaign reform, [[corporate governance]] reform, U.S. fiscal health, academic standards in [[K–12|K-12 education]], post-secondary education access and achievement, importance of STEM education, immigration, [[free trade]], [[foreign assistance]], women on corporate boards, [[Medicare (United States)|Medicare]] and broader [[Healthcare reform in the United States|healthcare reform]], [[crony capitalism]], inequality, judicial selection reform, [[child care]], the role of business in promoting educational attainment, [[digital learning]], teacher compensation and quality, corporate short-termism, federal [[tax reform]], [[Social Security (United States)|social security]], innovation and growth, reducing global poverty, welfare reform, and more.

CED’s work is based on seven core principles: sustainable capitalism, long-term economic growth, efficient fiscal and regulatory policy, competitive and open markets, a globally competitive workforce, equal economic opportunity, and nonpartisanship in the nation’s interest. CED's research findings<ref>{{Cite web|title=Reports|url=https://www.ced.org/reports|access-date=2021-12-01|website=Committee for Economic Development of The Conference Board}}</ref> are disseminated widely, achieving tangible impact at the local, state, and national levels.

== History ==

CED was founded in 1942 by a group of business leaders led by [[Paul G. Hoffman]], president of [[Studebaker|Studebaker Corporation]]; [[William Benton (senator)|William Benton]], co-founder of [[Benton & Bowles]] advertising firm; and [[Marion B. Folsom]], treasurer of [[Kodak|Eastman Kodak Company]]. CED was first formed to help the [[Economy of the United States|U.S. economy]] transition from a wartime to peacetime economy. At the end of [[World War II]], CED successfully worked to garner support among the American business community for the [[Marshall Plan]].<ref name="About CED">[https://www.ced.org/about About CED]</ref>

Since its inception, CED has aimed to promote policies that its trustees believe will foster economic growth and development to benefit all Americans. The organization conducts research and outreach efforts in the U.S. and abroad to change policy at the local, state, and national levels. In recent decades, CED has increased access to [[pre-kindergarten]] and [[college]], advocated [[Campaign finance reform in the United States|campaign finance reform]] nationally, placed more women in corporate leadership, and reduced government spending.<ref name="About CED"/>

In January 2015, the Committee for Economic Development merged with [[The Conference Board]], given the many synergies between the two organizations.<ref>[http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/the-conference-board-to-merge-with-the-committee-for-economic-development-300020593.html The Conference Board to Merge with the Committee for Economic Development]</ref> Both are non-partisan, non-lobbying, and have trusteesTrustees comprised mainly from the business community.

== Principles ==

The organization's work is based on seven core principles: [[sustainable capitalism]], long-term economic growth, efficient fiscal and regulatory policy, competitive and open markets, a globally competitive workforce, equal economic opportunity, and nonpartisanship in the nation's interest.<ref>{{Cite nameweb|title="About|url=https://www.ced.org/about|access-date=2021-12-01|website=Committee for Economic Development of The Conference CED"Board}}</ref>

CED lends its voice and expertise to help shape economic policies and initiatives that include efficient fiscal and regulatory policy, competitive and open markets, modernized infrastructure, accessible healthcare, a globally competitive workforce, education reform; and sustaining our democratic institutions.

== Policy research ==

CED conducts policy research in the following issue areas: fiscal health, education (including early childhood, K-12, and postsecondary), health care, campaignworkforce financetraining, women in corporate leadership, regulatory policy, immigrationtechnology and innovation, infrastructure, and taxtrade/economic reformglobalization. CED aims to encourage American business leaders to take a more expansive view of their responsibilities by practicing what it calls "business statesmanshipstewardship" — recognizing that business leaders can promote societal health by engaging in and speaking out for the common good on timely public policy issues.<ref>{{citationCite neededweb|title=Policy Issues|url=https://www.ced.org/policyissues|access-date=August2021-12-01|website=Committee for Economic Development of The Conference 2018Board}}</ref>

== Policy conferences ==

CED's policy conferences are forums for trustees, senior policy makers, and industry leaders to discuss pressing national issues that are aligned with CED's core policy areas: the economy, education, global competitiveness, and democratic institutions. To advance reasoned solutions from business in the nation's interest, CED convenes for two days, twice-yearly, to address these seminal economic issues. At each Conference, CED also honors a distinguished business leader with the ''Leadership in the Nation's Interest Award''.<ref>[https://www.ced.org/events/conference/2017-fall-policy-conference CED Policy Conferences]</ref>
