Dear Workforce Matters Network,
Happy New Year! I am excited to be serving as the chair of the Workforce Matters Steering Committee for 2017-18. JPMorgan Chase has a long-standing interest in workforce development, and the Workforce Matters network has been a fantastic way for us to connect to and learn from other funders in this space.
I’d like to thank Allison Gerber, the outgoing chair, as well as Matt Bruce and Jonathan Njus, the other members of our executive committee, for their leadership over the last year. Because of them, and with the support of our new staff consultants, Loh-Sze Leung and Sarah Oldmixon, we are beginning 2017 in a strong place, with exciting plans ahead of us.
I look forward to working with our steering committee to build a dynamic network of workforce funders who share groundbreaking ideas and research, new developments, and investment opportunities with each other. I’m also excited about expanding our reach to include more regional funders. Finally, I’m hopeful that with your continued interest and enthusiasm, we will deepen our work and learning in the areas of apprenticeship, career and technical education, young adult employment, and racial equity.
I welcome your thoughts, feedback and participation as we kick off our work this year. Our work groups are welcoming new members, and we are also seeking nominations for the Workforce Matters Steering Committee! Let us know if you are interested in any of these opportunities.
Warmly,
Michelle A. Henry
