New Name and Look - Same Vital Mission and Work!

Council for Economic Education
New Address:
122 East 42 Street
Suite 2600
New York, NY 10168

To advance our leadership role in the field of economic and financial education, we are changing our name and look to the Council for Economic Education.

Over the last decade, NCEE has developed a world-class, comprehensive K-12 program of teaching materials, teacher professional development programs, and assessments in economics, personal finance, and entrepreneurship education, designed to be used across the curriculum.

And like our programs, the NCEE is evolving as well. In support of our efforts to continue to expand our global reach, we invite you to join us in celebrating our new name, the Council for Economic Education, which best defines our work today and into the future.

In addition, we are moving our headquarter offices, just across town in mid-town Manhattan.

  • Our name change will be official January 1, 2009.
  • The new website will be www.councilforeconed.org.
  • Effective immediately, our new address is  122 East 42 Street  Suite 2600  New York, NY 10168
  • Telephone numbers will remain the same.

Over the coming weeks, we will be providing additional information about these exciting changes, upcoming events and programs, all designed to make 2009 our best year ever.
