Transforming workforce systems is tough work and why go it alone? New York's state and local policy leaders continue to benefit from Greg's incredible depth and experience in the national workforce policy arena, as we use his talents to facilitate the State's leadership strategies.
Greg has been an essential component to New York's commitment to align state and local workforce agendas for a truly seamless delivery system. Through Greg's ongoing facilitation of leadership sessions, state and local board staff have built the internal capacity to execute external agendas.
Greg is masterful at balancing what can often be seen as contentious or competing objectives and leading diverse groups toward consensus. New York's state strategy continues to see the greatest value when all components of our system are aligned around common objectives. Greg has facilitated this strategy though ongoing leadership sessions with state and local board staff, leading us to innovative solutions as well as a stronger state and local partnership and dialog.
"New York State is committed to ensuring that its workforce system remains flexible and responsive to regional needs. This will only succeed if we invest strategically in ensuring that our regional policymakers possess the skills necessary to carry out ambitious agendas. Greg has been essential to our success in helping New York build local board staff capacity through a multi-year strategy in leadership."
