Draft Conference Agenda

On Friday, March 12, the U.S. Department of Labor's Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (CFBCI) will host a half-day conference for Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs) chairs, directors and staff. In response to widespread interest, panel discussions will focus on how WIBs and One-Stops can create sustainable collaborations with faith-based and community organizations to address employment needs in their communities.

The conference is being held in conjunction with the National Association Workforce Board's Forum 2004. Sessions will feature DOL senior officials and practitioners from the field. Participants will learn about CFBCI Touching Lives and Communities pilot projects and existing programs that have a successful track record. Senior officials will also provide the latest information on new grant opportunities and respond to questions from the audience.
