An unparalled reputation
CEDA's non-partisan pursuit of Australia's national interest and its long history of contribution to public policy issues have given it a unique reputation among Australia's political and corporate leaders.
"I would like to congratulate CEDA again on the contribution it makes to thoughtful economic and social debate in our country." - John Howard, February 2004
"Political leaders respect CEDA as a voice that's not beholden to sectional interests, but instead reaches across the leadership of the business, academic and government communities." - Kim Beazley, August 2005
"I have a great admiration for CEDA ... CEDA has done a lot to help Australia with its social and economic intelligence and knowledge. I pay tribute to them." - Roger Corbett, Woolworths CEO, April 2004
Involvement from national leaders
CEDA's membership and leadership covers a remarkable range of interests and viewpoints.
More than 800 businesses, universities, government bodies and community groups are members. (Their membership subscriptions and event attendance provide the majority of CEDA's funds.)
CEDA's Board of Governors includes business leaders such as Michael Chaney, Hugh Morgan and Linda Nicholls, former prime ministers Malcolm Fraser and Bob Hawke, public policy expert and former deputy prime minister Professor Brian Howe, and Nobel Prize winner Professor Peter Doherty.
CEDA publications are distributed to more than 2000 key decision makers - both members and non-members - from corporate executives to state and federal ministers and staffers, department heads and senior staff, senior journalists and the senior staff of professional services firms.
