| Oct 13 Fourteenth Annual Goodwill Awards |
Speaker Jim Gibbons President and CEO of Goodwill Industries International.
Jim Gibbons is the president and CEO of Goodwill Industries International, an internationally recognized leading social enterprise of independent, community-based agencies in the United States and Canada as well as 14 affiliate members in 13 other countries. Founded in Boston in 1902, Goodwill Industries® first put people to work by hiring them to repair and sell donated goods. Today, Goodwill® trains people for careers in fields such as financial services, computer programming, manufacturing and emerging industries, including technology and health care. The organization does that by selling donated goods in stores and online at shopgoodwill.com and using the revenues to fund job training programs, employment placement services and other community-based programs, such as financial education and youth mentoring, that benefit three million people each year.
Before coming to Goodwill in April 2008, Gibbons served as the president and CEO of National Industries for the Blind (NIB), a nonprofit organization that works in partnership with more than 88 associated agencies around the country to enhance economic opportunities and professional development for people who are blind. Through comprehensive marketing and branding strategies and an emphasis on aggressive mission measures, Gibbons transformed the nearly 70 year-old NIB into a results-oriented social enterprise for the 21st century. An expert at social enterprise management, socioeconomic program strategy and leadership skills development, Gibbons is a veteran speaker, guest lecturer and information resource for advocates, educators and journalists.
Prior to NIB, Gibbons was the president and CEO of Campus Wide Access Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T. An employee of AT&T for more than a decade, Gibbons held various leadership positions in operations, product management, and mergers and acquisition. Gibbons earned his B.S. in industrial engineering from Purdue University, and a M.B.A. from the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration, where he was the first blind person to graduate with a master’s in business administration. Jim is a 2012 board member of the National Workforce Solutions Advisory Board, sponsored by ACT, Inc. Gibbons has received several awards and recognitions for his work, including the 2010 National Jefferson Award for Greatest Public Service Benefiting the Disadvantaged, the 2010 SmartCEO EcoCEO award for organizational commitment to the environment, the 2009 Young Presidents’ Organization Social Enterprise Leadership Award, and the 2007 Purdue Outstanding Industrial Engineer of the Year award. Gibbons was recently appointed by President Obama as a member of the White House Council for Community Solutions (WHCCS), a two-year commitment.

| Oct 21 Workforce NOW: College & Career Night |
College & Career Night
Wednesday, October 21st, 2015
6:30 - 8:30p.m.
Spotsylvania Towne Centre
The Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce's Workforce NOW program,
in partnership with College Night, is hosting an Expo to offer employers the opportunity
to get in front of the region’s future workforce!
This is a unique opportunity for area employers to meet hundreds of students from
Planning District 16 and make them aware of hometown job opportunities.
Workforce NOW is asking employers to be part of the regional workforce solution
and help prepare the talent pipeline to meet future business needs.
A key component of this event will be providing
mini-mentor/coaching moments for the student attendees.
Given the economic challenges facing America, more students than ever
are mixing work and higher education after high school graduation.
As employers, we also know that some students do not have the desire and/or the means to continue their education immediately following graduation--so why not offer some alternatives!
Our Mission: to develop and sustain partnerships
to support and encourage
workforce readiness and workforce development.
Our Vision: A workforce ready to meet the Fredericksburg region’s current
and future employment needs.
