WASHINGTON, D.C., June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The national Early Childhood and Business Advisory Council (ECBAC) proudly announces the inclusion of Georgia, Nebraska, New Hampshire, and South Carolina as the newest members of its third cohort. This expansion underscores a growing national commitment to tackle the pressing challenges of child care accessibility and affordability.
The ECBAC is a collaborative initiative spearheaded by the Buffett Early Childhood Institute at the University of Nebraska, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, and the Bipartisan Policy Center. Its mission is to bridge the gap between the business sector and early childhood education to foster high-quality, affordable child care solutions nationwide.
“Child care is a family issue, a workforce issue, and an economic issue,” said Linda Smith, director of policy at the Buffett Institute. “Addressing the child care crisis requires an ‘all-hands-on-deck’ approach.”
