said Lisanne McNew, chair of NAWB’s Board of Directors.
Turner-Little brings to NAWB a wealth of experience and knowledge about workforce development and national membership networks, as well as a strong desire to advance policy that enables local workforce development boards to serve their communities even more effectively.
“I am truly honored and eager to join the National Association of Workforce Boards in furthering its mission,” said Turner-Little. “Throughout my career, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of work in shaping individuals’ lives, and how workforce development drives economic growth in our communities. As we move forward, I am committed to working closely with our exceptional professional team, Board of Directors, partners and members across the country to navigate the opportunities and challenges ahead and identify innovative solutions that will empower workforce development boards, enhance business competitiveness, and create a more prosperous future for all.”
