C-Suite Roundtable By Invitation, Members-Only

October 24th

Our Region's workforce woes have become a common theme within our business community. Finding novel solutions to sourcing, training, and retaining new employees has become our modern day leadership challenge.

Join us for our October 24th C-Suite Roundtable where speakers Radha Muthiah, CEO, Capital Area Food Bank; Dr. Anne Kress, President, Northern Virginia Community College; and Cecilia Hodges, Regional President, Greater Washington and Virginia, M&T Bank, will discuss how their novel pilot program is bundling access to food, education, and the opportunity to interview for living wage jobs to improve students' lives... And our Region's workforce. Through their program, students pursuing higher education receive assistance to help them balance rising living costs and priorities that have traditionally derailed academic careers. Through this program, graduation rates have improved, resulting in better-qualified candidates.

This Roundtable is sponsored by Evans Consulting and will be held at Ruth's Chris.
