Become a CEE Member
The Coalition for an Equitable Economy (CEE) is a broad cross-sector coalition of stakeholders from across the state aligned around a shared commitment to building an equitable small business ecosystem and to the values of racial equity, collaboration and shared leadership.
Core stakeholders include entrepreneurs and business leaders, nonprofit and for-profit professional service providers, small business financing partners, educational institutions, policy and thought leaders, government agencies, and individuals who support entrepreneurs.
Members collectively focus on closing the racial wealth gap in Massachusetts through supporting small business owners and entrepreneurs in the state—particularly Black, Latino, Indigenous-owned and other underserved communities—and by actively working to remove barriers to their growth and success.
