Montgomery County Business Roundtable for Education (MCBRE) was a company-public instruction partnership with Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) that boosted cross-sector knowledge sharing and academic excellence. At the same time, the creation of platforms for business- education brought system-level improvements. In particular, MCBRE's board of adviser's meetings brought together top executives from firms like NASDAQ, Lockheed Martin, and PricewaterhouseCoopers with MCPS leaders to be trained about the management and leadership performance.
Montgomery County Business Roundtable for Education Case Study Solution
Succeeding leading MCBRE for the preceding five years, first as executive director, and now as board chair, Jane Kubasik was departing. There were some concerns while the recently hired executive director, Heather Schwager, was more than qualified to take over. Kubasik executed and had planned most of MCBRE's present initiatives, and that was single-handedly recruited almost all of the current members of MCBRE. Would MCBRE manage to retain its membership that is notable without Kubasik? With its particular invite-only standards for new members, would MCBRE be able to continue to grow? Should increase even be a target?
