Workforce Development Month | Leadership Behind the Vision
As we close out Workforce Development Month, we’re celebrating the professionals who make an impact every day while also recognizing the leadership that helps make that work possible.
For President Jerry Myers and Director Robert Gordon, workforce development has been more than a profession—it has been a commitment to creating opportunities, strengthening communities, and making a difference in the lives of others.
What started with two men and a laptop has grown into IN THE DOOR serving communities across multiple states with a team of more than 40 workforce professionals. Now in our 11th year of business, that journey represents years of vision, perseverance, partnerships, and a belief in the power of workforce development.
Today, we recognize the two leaders who helped turn a vision into a growing organization—and who continue to challenge our team to think bigger about how we serve individuals, employers, and communities.
A vision started the journey. A team continues the impact. And the possibilities ahead are even greater.
