About Us

MOEC's History

Founded in 1988, MOEC is a model collaboration dedicated to public education. MOEC serves as a forum and community for education professionals and is a catalyst for identifying high-priority issues common to member organizations and addressing these issues through joint task forces and projects.

The resulting synergy of ideas and resources makes MOEC a powerful force for improving education in the metropolitan area public schools, community colleges, and the university.

In 2017, MOEC welcomed new partners and transitioned to a Collective Impact Model, led by Executive Director Dr. Martha Bruckner.

MOEC is housed on the campus of the University of Nebraska at Omaha, with meetings and events taking place throughout the metropolitan area.
