BetsyDeVos

Betsy DeVos
Chairman
Grand Rapids, MI

“Today our cause has evolved – no longer are we simply education reform advocates, nor are we mere proponents for change. We are a part of an education revolution – a revolution that results in parents, especially those who have children trapped in failing schools, having choices. And, only through educational choice can we unleash the power of bold innovation to transform the lives of these children and to give them hope for a much brighter future.”

Betsy DeVos has been a leader in the political arena and the national school reform movement for more than two decades. As a board member of the Education Freedom Fund, a Michigan-based scholarship organization she led with her husband, DeVos devoted significant time and energy to ensuring that children from disadvantaged families have educational options and hope for a brighter future. For the past decade, DeVos has chaired political action organizations devoted to electing more supporters of school choice to public office. She has also served on national and local charitable and civic boards, including the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Kids Hope USA, and Mars Hill Bible Church.
