Join Us for the 2026 Forum on American Enterprise
The Mississippi Council on Economic Education (MSCEE) invites you to join us for the 2026 Forum on American Enterprise, featuring Kai Ryssdal and Bridget Bodnar of Marketplace. This annual fundraising luncheon brings together business and community leaders, educators, and supporters of economic education for an engaging program examining the economy and the forces shaping the way we live, work, and make financial decisions. Proceeds from the Forum support MCEE’s work to equip Mississippi educators with the training and resources they need to prepare students for a more prosperous future.
