A Champion Named "ME"
Mary Ann Lawrence

Center for Workforce Learning
The Workforce SYSTEM is only as good as the sum of its parts! Reflect on what you've learned...how you will use it...and who really cares.
This humorous presentation will inspire you to drive integration among partners in the workforce, economic development and education systems leading to a positive workforce transformation. You will be challenged to become a champion in improving personal capacity to prepare the right people for the right jobs in the right places. Reflect on what you learned at the conference and how you can apply these new skills to your own programs and services to enhance the economic competitiveness of the state.
