Keeping America in Business: Advancing Workers, Businesses and Economic Growth
February 2003
Abstract
On February 6, 2003, seventy-five men and women representing business, labor, academia, government, workforce intermediaries, academia, nonprofit organizations and the media gathered at Arden House in Harriman, New York, for the 102nd American Assembly entitled “Achieving Worker Success and Business Prosperity: The New Role for Workforce Intermediaries.” For three days, participants examined policies, approaches and actions that need to be taken to assure that workers have access to economic opportunity and to assure that employers have access to the skilled workforce required for them to be globally competitive.
This project was directed by Robert Giloth, director, The Annie E. Casey Foundation; John Colborn, deputy director, Economic Development Unit, The Ford Foundation; and Betsy Biemann, associate director, Working Communities, The Rockefeller Foundation. The project was also ably assisted by a steering committee of distinguished leaders from around the country, whose names and affi liations are listed in the appendix to this report.
