Today, Cambium Learning Group, the education essentials company,
released its 2023 Impact Report. This report underscores the

students, teachers, communities, and employees.
"I am proud of the work and outcomes this report represents. In
addition to giving voice to challenges and charting a clear course
forward for deepening and widening our support for educators,
students, families and our employees, this annual report also

leaders in the K-12 education ecosystem," said Ashley Andersen
Zantop, chairman and CEO of Cambium Learning Group. “These insights
help inform our work as we improve outcomes for the people we serve
and continuously cultivate our culture as worthy stewards of our
customers’ trust.”
