"Public Private Partnerships in Education Reform"
Wednesday, January 12, 2011
4:30 PM * Room 3, Rockefeller Center
Public education reform is a challenge confronting all major cities. Successful
reform efforts typically engage the private sector in addition to parents, teachers,
school administrators, and elected officials. Drawing on his extensive involvement
in educational philanthropy in Chicago, Bruce Rauner will discuss the reform
strategies that have worked and the problems that remain.
Bruce Rauner joined GTCR in 1981. He holds an MBA from Harvard Business School
and a BA from Dartmouth College summa cum laude, with highest distinction in Economics.
Rauner's leadership role has been instrumental in many successful GTCR investments
including Gensar, Polypore, CoreStaff, Answerthink, American Medical Labs and
AppNet.
Rauner continues to be very committed to helping others succeed. He serves
on the board of the Renaissance Schools Fund, Ravinia Music Festival and the Metropolitan
Pier and Exposition Authority. He is a member of the President's Councils for
both Dartmouth College and Harvard Business School. Rauner is Chairman of the
Education Committee of the Civic Committee of the Commercial Club of Chicago and
past Chairman of the Chicago Public Education Fund. He was the principal donor
for Chicago projects including the new Red Cross regional headquarters, a YMCA
in the Little Village neighborhood, four new charter high schools on the near
west side, and the Stanley C. Golder Center for Private Equity and Entrepreneurial
Finance at the University of Illinois. Rauner works with the Nature Conservancy
and Montana Land Reliance to preserve ranch land and wildlife habitat in Montana
and received the Murie-Broome Award from The Wilderness Society for outstanding
work in wilderness preservation.
