Our staff recently attended the NAWDP - National Association of Workforce Development Professionals Annual Conference in Phoenix Arizona.

We had the opportunity to network, collaborate, and learn about current trends in workforce and economic development.

Topics included workforce innovation, employer engagement, career readiness, leadership development, and technology in workforce services.

We’re grateful for opportunities like this that allow us to continue growing and improving the services we provide to our community.
