MAC 2026 Partnership Awards & Reception

 

On June 3, 2026, the MAC community gathered for our Partnership Awards & Reception, The Right to Learn — Building the Future of Education. We welcomed leaders across business, advocacy, and philanthropy to look beyond the challenges of this moment and envision what we can build together when we unite around education equity.

It was an honor to celebrate in our new downtown home, the NonProfit Center, a space that reflects our commitment to community, collaboration, and collective progress. We are deeply grateful to everyone who supported MAC through the event. Together, we are breaking down barriers to education.

Whether you joined us at The Right to Learn Reception or were not able to make it this year, thank you for sharing our vision for an education system that truly serves every learner. Scroll down to view event photos and sponsors.
