Dear Mr Sasha COSTANZA-CHOCK,

I would like to invite you to attend our new conference - The Conference 
Board's Global Business and Education Conference: Global Public Private 
Partnerships in Education in Washington, DC on September 11 and 12, 
2006, to learn how effective public private partnerships in education 
are ideally suited to the creation of 21st century skills in the 
students of today and the employees and consumers of tomorrow.

The conference is designed for corporations, non-profits and other 
organizations that are currently, or are interested in, partnering in 
education globally.  With the help of businesses, country officials and 
NGOs and other thought leaders, we will outline many of the macro themes 
necessary to understand the position of education in the global 
marketplace to give the action strategies context.  The program will 
highlight successful partnerships and will include the following topics:

* Enabling the Global Knowledge Economy: The Role of Public Private 
Partnerships in Education
* Quality of Education: Developing the 21st Century Skills
* How to Best use Technology to Meet Educational Goals
* Linking Public Private Educational Partnerships to Corporate Social 
Responsibility
* Quality of Teachers and Teaching
* The Future of Education in Developing Countries
* The World is Flat - The Challenge of the Future

Ample networking time is built-in to allow you to share views and 
experiences with other attendees.  There will also be a post-conference 
workshop - Creating and Sustaining Valuable Business - Education 
Partnerships- on September 12 to allow for a more-in-depth examination 
of this critical topic.

For more details on the conference and to reserve your space now, please 
call our Customer Service department at (212) 339-0345 or by go online 
at www.conference-board.org/businessandeducation.htm.

I hope to see you in September.


Sincerely,
			
Mary Wright Benner
