Description
Join us for our Economic Development Luncheon. This year’s luncheon will focus on the critical need to attract, train and place more American workers to fill the jobs that businesses are creating.
Our keynote Speaker will be Peter Beard, Senior Vice President for Regional Workforce Development at the Greater Houston Partnership. Mr. Beard successfully developed UpSkill Houston, an employer-led initiative that engages more than 200 employers, educational institutions, community-based organizations, and the public workforce system to strengthen the pipeline of skilled workers.
Karl Segura, Sr. Manager of Business Development for Entergy, will explain the process of attracting industrial projects to our area and the essential role a competitive workforce plays in the final investment decision.
