The Committee for Economic Development of The Conference Board (CED) is an American nonprofit and nonpartisan public policy think tank.

The board of trustees consist primarily of senior corporate executives from a range of U.S. industries and sectors.

[2] At the end of World War II, CED worked to garner support among the American business community for the Marshall Plan.

[1][2] Since its inception, CED has promoted policies that its trustees believe will foster American economic growth and development and indirectly benefit the country and people.

More recently CED has also advocated to increase access to pre-kindergarten and college, for campaign finance reform nationally, for more women in corporate leadership, and for reduced government spending.
