Governor O'Malley and Lt. Governor Brown Meet with GWIB Board

   
 
Governor Martin O'Malley, Lt. Governor Anthony Brown and DLLR Secretary Thomas Perez attended the September 12, 2007 Governor's Workforce Investment Board meeting. The Governor applauded GWIB Executive Director Eric Seleznow and his team for "Holding down the GWIB fort every day and doing an outstanding job." William G. "Bill" Robertson is the new chair of the GWIB.

Governor O'Malley thanked the GWIB for its efforts to address Maryland's workforce challenges and went on to comment about the most pressing issues facing Maryland's employers. Maryland employers face chronic worker shortages in skilled trades, technology and healthcare care. There is also a large portion of the population that lacks even the most basic skills needed to compete. The Governor said that he had overheard Secretary Perez talk about the importance of putting the "G" back in the GWIB. Workforce creation as an economic development strategy for Maryland is a top priority for the Governor, his staff and the entire Administration. Governor O'Malley commented Lt. Governor Anthony Brown, who has done a great job on one of Maryland's greatest workforce challenges - preparing for the arrival of thousands upon thousands of BRAC jobs.
