The Connecticut Association of Boards of Education's (CABE) Business Affiliate Membership program was created in 1987 to encourage partnerships between business and education. CABE invites private sector companies, institutions and firms with an interest in public education to become partners with CABE and show their support for local and regional boards of education.

You will obtain insight into the latest developments in local public education and gain opportunities to network with school district leaders.
