WORKSOURCE SYSTEM CONFERENCE 2019
In its second year, we welcomed close to 130 attendees for another day of professional development and networking on June 21, 2019. The theme this year was Business as Customer, and we heard from Phil Blair, Executive Officer of Manpower San Diego, for our morning keynote. Another highlight was our lunch panel where attendees got to hear from representatives from each of our partner connection sites about the services they offer and new initiatives they are working on (panelists and attendees represented WorkSource, Next Generation Zone, Spokane Public Library, Spokane Community College, Spokane County Library District, YWCA, and Spokane Resource Center).
