President & CEO
I’m responsible for all facets of managing a national 501(C)(3) membership organization.
NAWB's mission is to support its members through advocacy, job training, and strategic partnerships for the advancement of America's workforce. As president & CEO, I'm responsible for the overall strategy and subsequent implementation. I also go to meetings in Washington D.C. and sit in congressional offices to talk about why the nation needs to invest in educational and workforce development. I then communicate what's happening in Washington D.C. to the labor field.
Here's the first step for everyone
Think about your interests and what you're inclined to be good at. Find people who can help you identify those passions and strengths. Then pursue that to the utmost degree.
"You can't do it."
