Workforce Development Committee

Committee Chair: Vollie Melson, Anne Arundel Community College Foundation 

WHO: The Workforce Development Committee identifies and develops resources available throughout the County, as it relates to the current and pending workforce development needs of business owners, and provides forums to communicate and connect interested parties. Since its inception in 2021, this committee took on the initiative to help HR professionals in the county tackle employment issues caused by the pandemic. They implemented an HR Roundtable which brings HR professionals, of all size businesses, together quarterly to share and collaborate on key issues such as new HR legislation, employee recruitment and retention, DEI and more.  

WHY JOIN:  Economic Development Committee Members are often the first to know of new employment legislation and have access to HR executives in the county who usually aren’t in attendance at networking events. Committee members will also assist in the planning of workforce development seminars/webinars. 

HR Execs interested in joining the HR Roundtable should e-mail Mark at mark@aaaccc.org
