The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is the leading free-market organization for member-driven state policy solutions and exchange.

ALEC provides public and private sector members with a collaborative forum to advance the principles of limited government, free markets, and federalism. Through this unique public-private partnership, ALEC members drive real-world policy solutions that foster economic development and human flourishing.

Private sector members play a vital role in this process, contributing expertise, insight, and firsthand knowledge to help inform policy discussions and decisions. Membership offers direct engagement with the process, ensuring that private sector perspectives have a voice in the process and a seat at the table. By participating in ALEC Task Forces, private sector leaders help identify and share practical, pro-growth solutions that create opportunity and reduce barriers.

ALEC provides members with exclusive research, expert analysis, and legislative resources, including annual Essential Policy Solutions reports, Rich States, Poor States, and the ALEC Index of State Education Freedom. Private sector members also gain access to high-level networking opportunities, connecting with industry leaders, lawmakers, and policy experts from across the country.
