Shenandoah Valley Economic Education, Inc.

Shenandoah Valley Economic Education, Inc. was founded in the early 1970s to promote teaching about economics and the free enterprise system in the central Shenandoah Valley. Today its mission is

to promote economic literacy in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.

SVEE provides the funding necessary to put a full-time teacher consultant in the field to help promote economic literacy. The teacher outreach program of the James Madison University Center for Economic Education is funded by SVEE. Without SVEE's help, economic education in our area would consist only of on-campus offerings at JMU.

Stephanne S. Byrd of Harrisonburg currently serves SVEE as Chairman of the Board. SVEE is governed by a board representing local business and community interests.

SVEE's website includes information on the organization and a gateway to the annual Economic Education Awards Program online.
