“We believe that collaboration is key to addressing the challenges and opportunities in our region’s workforce. The summit is free to attend, and we encourage professionals, educators, and public servants to join us in this collective effort to shape the future of our workforce,” said UACCB Chancellor Dr. Brian Shonk.
