The National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE) is a membership organization that develops, supports, and empowers citizen leaders on state boards of education to strengthen public education systems so students of all backgrounds and circumstances are prepared to succeed in school, work, and life. A nonpartisan, nonprofit organization, NASBE elevates
state board members’ voices in national and state policymaking, facilitates the exchange of informed ideas, and supports members in advancing equity and excellence in public education.
For more than 60 years, NASBE has been the only organization focused solely on these boards. NASBE keeps boards apprised of the latest research evidence to support their policymaking, shares initiatives and lessons learned from other states, and gives them the tools and technical assistance they need to create the conditions for equity and excellence in their states. Through conferences, publications, webinars, trainings, and other convenings, NASBE builds members’ capacity to effectively set state policy, convene stakeholders, and ask questions.
