Hanging out before a great panel discussion at the Near West American Job Center in Pilsen for the Jobs for the Future congressional staff visit this week! Thanks @scalelit & @ChiCookWORKS for helping to educate our lawmakers on the importance of workforce partnerships!
My colleagues at AARP and the Center for Workforce Inclusion discussing the continued need for older worker supports and advocacy. #strongertogether #scsep #nawb #nationalable
Great lunch with Illinois and Florida colleagues! #NAWBFORUM23 #TheForum2023 #TheForum23 #Forum23 #NAWB via Whova event app whova.com/whova-event-ap…
Excited to be at NAWB 2023! @NatAbleNetwrk @WorkforceInvest
Super interesting session about the state of the job market and finding/retaining employees in these crazy times. Great info! #wioasummit2022 #FutureOfWork
So glad to be back in person at the WIOA Summit 2022! Great partnerships also lead to great pictures. Thanks Robert! @scalelit @NatAbleNetwrk #wioasummit2022 #econrecovery #futureofwork
Thanks @garyaofficer for brining up the need for continued workforce development funding targeting older workers! #SkillsSummit2020 @NatAbleNetwrk
Great message about WOTC changes and human capital development! Thank you Representative Horsford! #nationalablenetwork #SkillsSummit2020
Looking forward to a few days of learning at #SkillsSummit2020!
You know you're in a government building when you find not only a VHS tape, but THE "Abs of Steel 2000"...released in 1993.
Perdue’s article is insulting. He grossly oversimplifies the barriers SNAP recipients face during their search for employment. It’s sad that this is his justification for USDA's incredibly hurtful policy change. tucson.com/opinion/nation…

When your 70 year old father in-laws new "girlfriend" finds some racy texts on his phone. Best.vacation.ever. #shegone
It's unacceptable that this new administration isn't willing to do the right thing here. Apparently they're more concerned about potential revenue than removing a pervasive and evil practice that adversely preys on low income residents and people of color. #stopsuspendinglives
Ok @ABCNetwork, #HoleyMoley is absolutely hilarious. PLEASE keep this show going. My wife and I are doubled over. Doubled over laughing that is. Figured I should clarify that last point as it could be confused with puking. Love the show!
Can we please remove the term "level set" from everyone's buisiness vocabulary already? Any subsitute is better than this awful, terrible platitude. C'mon folks, we're better than this.
My 6 year old son: "Boys can't be girls, and girls can't be boys, can they?" Me: " They can! People can be who they want to be!" My son: "Oh, ok!". What a tough conversation... #TransIsBeautiful
