Supporting High-Quality Education for a Strong Workforce
About the program

This committee plans a variety of events and activities designed to promote excellence in education and develop a strong and varied workforce.  Events encourage business support at all levels of education and include opportunities to mentor students and teachers, provide financial support for important education programs and activities, and advocate for high-quality education between local school districts and higher education institutions.
