Summit Education Initiative

Our story begins in January 1996, when leaders from the community joined together to create the framework that would become Summit Education Initiative (SEI). The founding mission was developed to engage and mobilize, in an innovative manner, a broad base of people and resources to significantly improve education for all children in Summit County. SEI has continued to evolve to reflect the educational needs of children and the community. In spring 2006, at SEI’s invitation, more than 50 leaders from across the community participated in conversations about SEI’s direction. This led to updating SEI’s mission and vision, as well as more clearly defining SEI’s role.
