    VISIONARY MEMBERS

    ETS was founded in 1947 on the belief that an independent, nonprofit organization devoted to education research and assessment could advance education by expanding opportunities for all learners, not just those with resources and connections. Today, we continue that journey by delivering learning tools, groundbreaking research, and trusted assessments that provide data and innovation to help students, educators and employers see clearly the next step on their path to new possibilities.
