Donations sustain education advocacy
The kick-off session of the Black Education Strategy Roundtable in 2006 was underwritten by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and Eli Lilly. Ongoing sessions have been co-sponsored by various partners, including the Office of the Education Ombudsman, the Comprehensive Health Education Foundation, and the Partnership for Learning. In addition to online visibility, our generous sponsors below were acknowleged repeatedly from the podium during Roundtable sessions and in associated printed material.
