City Biz- Steve Bumbaugh Named CEO of Council for Economic Education

CEE is thrilled to welcome Steve Bumbaugh as its new CEO. Steve brings a wealth of experience in education and philanthropy, having held leadership positions at the College Board, ECMC Foundation, and CityBridge Foundation. He is also a former teacher and holds degrees from Yale and Stanford. With a strong passion for making economic and financial education accessible to all students, Steve is closely aligned with CEE’s mission. Board Chair Rebecca Patterson expressed her confidence in his vision and leadership, especially as young people encounter increasingly complex financial challenges. Steve takes on this role after a nationwide search, succeeding Nan J. Morrison, who led CEE for 15 impactful years.


About the Council for Economic Education

The Council for Economic Education’s (CEE’s) mission is to equip K–12 students with the tools and knowledge of personal finance and economics so that they can make better decisions for themselves, their families and their communities. We carry out our mission in three ways. We advocate to require financial and economic education in every state. We provide training, tools and resources — online and live through over 180 affiliates nationwide — to more than 40,000 teachers annually, who in turn bring the highest quality economics and personal finance instruction to over 4 million students. We deepen knowledge and introduce high school students to critical career capabilities through our national competitions and Invest in Girls program. Learn more at CouncilForEconEd.org and on LinkedIn and on Facebook.
