Questions and Answers

Partner Updates

Central Virginia PartnershipVEC

Goodwill

Committees

Business and Education Outreach

• Career Pathways draft reviewed by Committees, several businesses, and most partners.• Next steps: fine-tune packet with Employer Ambassadors, meet with education partners.

Executive Committee

Considering “Re-launch” of the Executive Committee in October.

Meet once between each Board meeting.

Previous meetings were ad-hoc and primarily held when we did not have a Board quorum at the quarterly meetings.

Members: Chair, Vice-Chair, Past Chair, Committee Leaders, One At-Large Board Member, Council Chair (need confirmation).

VCW-P is making significant progress in many areas, and we believe more frequent updates and discussions on key strategic items are appropriate.

Strategic Plan updates and changes.

Grant applications and funding options.

Structure and partner relationships (MACAA, Charlottesville Career Center, etc.).

Thank You!
