💬 We asked our Board of Directors what drives their commitment to workforce development. For Tyler Yeoman, Market Chief Human Resources Executive at Ascension and WFS Board Member, it’s about the connection between work, purpose, and community strength: “I believe a thriving local workforce is about far more than just economic indicators; it's about building a healthier and more vibrant community for everyone. Meaningful work transforms lives by offering dignity, purpose, and the ability to provide for oneself and others. That's why I'm committed to this work. When we invest in our local workforce through training, education, and support, we're empowering individuals and building a sustainable community for the future.” We’re grateful for Tyler’s leadership and his vision for a workforce that supports both people and the prosperity of Central Texas. 💼💡 #TexasTalentExperts #AustinJobs #FutureOfWork #LeadershipInAction
