Meet Our Keynote Speaker:

Jeffrey Connor-Naylor will keynote the Summit following breakout workshop sessions. Connor-Naylor is the Director at Business Leaders United (BLU) for Workforce Partnerships. BLU represents leaders from various industry sectors concerned about our nation's skills gap. BLU promotes public investments in skills training and education to prepare America's workers for jobs in the 21st Century economy. For years, businesses across a range of industry sectors faced a skills mismatch, which the pandemic only exacerbated. As we recover, there are opportunities to advance public policy and develop local initiatives that can help workers access industry-driven skills training and build the skilled workforce that employers need to grow and thrive.
