WIB Members Attend NAWB

Three members of the Workforce Investment Board attended the National Association of Workforce Board Annual Conference. Forum 2007 – Vision for a New Economy: Workforce Leadership Matters! was held February 24 – 27 at the Renaissance Hotel in Washington, D.C.

Forum 2007 is NAWB’s signature event, attracting over 2,000 workforce investment leaders and business executives from across the country. This year’s theme was Vision for a New Economy: Workforce Leadership Matters!  A major emphasis was on the impact that “regionalism” continues to exert on the new economy and on the workforce development system, and the critical role that workforce leadership continues to play in this process. Forum 2007 created a peer-to-peer learning environment where workforce leaders openly exchanged knowledge, ideas, and solutions on how their communities could turn today’s workforce challenges into long-term opportunities.
