“Our new series will highlight the powerful role state leaders possess in helping generate positive solutions for some of our nation’s biggest challenges ,” declared Jeff Wasden, President & CEO of State Business Executives. “Business is faced with numerous challenges and many business owners, leaders, and workers feel the issues are too large or distant for them to have any direct or positive impact. We understand the power multi-sector, multi-state leadership can exert in addressing many of these issues! State Solutions for Today’s Workforce Challenges, our first in the series, is a prime example not only of the talented and respected national leaders we will convene, but how states and businesses are leading on these issues, ” stated Wasden.
