In 1954, MCEE offered its first-ever workshop, guiding 60 Maryland educators to incorporate personal finance into their lessons with students. Like today, that work was only possible because of the support from generous community partners who cared about our mission and our communities. And like today, McCormick & Company was there in 1954 - supporting MCEE and changing education for Maryland’s children.

McCormick helped us get started; and today, in our 70th year, they generously help us continue.

The global leader in flavor operates in 27 countries with 14,000 employees, but is headquartered in Maryland, which they’ve called home for more than 130 years. As Laura Fisher, Director, Global Strategy for McCormick puts it, “McCormick has been a proud supporter of MCEE for 70 years. We believe that by working together, we can have a positive impact on people's lives in the Maryland community. McCormick is committed to doing what’s right for the communities where we live, work, and operate, and this commitment is very aligned to MCEE’s mission.”

McCormick has supported MCEE’s Stock Market Game and Personal Finance Challenge, which Ms. Fisher calls “highly engaging, hands-on experiences that are making notable impact in the lives of students across the state.” The Company’s commitment to MCEE is part of its Purpose-led Performance strategy, which features wide-ranging community efforts.

McCormick’s relationship with MCEE is empowering students to grow into thoughtful, empowered decision makers, and is empowering MCEE to offer the support they need to get there.
