When two impactful organizations like Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito and Boys & Girls Clubs of Oceanside join forces, it’s more than just a merger—it’s a commitment to greater impact. With guidance from SVP Partners Thomas Boyd (Lead), Kamal Mistry, and Joyce Ross, this collaboration has paved the way for the newly formed Boys & Girls Clubs of Northwest San Diego, streamlining services and creating new opportunities to better serve North County families.

I'm heading out later today to Lake Ozark, MO for the Missouri Independent Bankers Association's 47th Annual Convention & Expo. Looking forward to meeting our Missouri bankers & presenting on Wednesday my session- 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘿𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙊𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝘽𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙘 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 & 𝘽𝙪𝙙𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨. While the title is a mouthful, the topic is very timely and relevant for our #communitybankers. #Digital is so broad and with the lack of regulations around areas of digital such as #artificialintelligence, many institutions are struggling to consider the options. Let's walk through the criticality of formalized #strategicplanning, #changemanagement, and identify practical first steps to more quickly anticipate and adapt to the changing expectations of your customers. Each institution is different, so your plan and strategy should be specific to your FI, your community, and your customers. Aren't attending the MIBA Convention?? Feel free to connect with me directly and we can walk talk about it one on one! #clapromise #digitalbanking #customerexperience #digitalliteracy

I am very excited about the opportunity to serve a second term as the Vice Chair of the Board of Directors for the National Association of Workforce Development Professionals (NAWDP). The work doesn’t stop after you get elected though. Now the real work starts and I will pick up from where I left off in 2023. Three of my priorities are below and I am looking for partners to help achieve them. 1. NAWDP represents all workforce development professionals. As such we need to connect with every workforce development organization, college, public school, apprenticeship sponsor, workforce development board, and government official focusing on workforce development. Let’s talk with our Director of Membership, Alexis Franks, SHRM-CP,CWDP, who is ready to discuss why the staff of all of those organizations and agencies, nationwide, should be a member of NAWDP. 2. Staff and supervisors need professional development and NAWDP is a one stop shop for workforce development training and professional development. NAWDP is the home of the Certified Workforce Development Professional (CWDP), the NAWDP Annual Conference, the NAWDP Youth Symposium, the NAWDP Business Academy, and a host of the other training and professional development opportunities. If you want information about attending, presenting, or sponsoring any of these, let’s connect! I am sure David Barch, CWDP and Kimberly Meadows, MBA, CWDP would love to talk with you. 3. We know that we are stronger united, than we are alone. That is why I want to see MOUs that institutionalize partnerships between NAWDP with other regional and national workforce development, community development, economic development, adult education, apprenticeship, secondary and post-secondary associations and membership groups. If you are a board member, leader, staff or executive of those organizations, let me connect you with the NAWDP CEO, Melissa Robbins, CGFM, CWDP, to see where synergies are between NAWDP and your organization. Overall thank you to my fellow Board Members, I am looking to partner with our Chair, Dana Keller, fellow Execitive Committee members, the entire NAWB board and staff. Let’s continue the mission!

For all my Senior friends from NorthJersey.com and the Greater Bergen County Community Actions - NJ program offers up to $15K in home renovations for vulnerable groups Healthy Homes program offers up to $15K in home renovations for vulnerable groups For those who find themselves struggling to afford the necessary home repairs and improvements to keep their environment safe, there's a new program that aims to help. Greater Bergen Community Action has launched its Healthy Homes program, an initiative that aims to remediate environmental hazards in 140 residential units throughout Bergen and Passaic counties. For each, the organization is offering up to $15,000 worth of essential home improvements — to address risks like mold, lead and structural deficiencies — to vulnerable income-eligible populations like seniors age 65 years and older, disabled individuals and families with young children. It is funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and Program Director Avery Headley said GBCA was one of just 20 organizations nationwide — and one of two in New Jersey — to receive the grant. https://lnkd.in/e2XMrhh7 https://lnkd.in/eVWB_HS4
