Noting that a well-prepared workforce is “vital to the success of our state,” Gov. Jay Nixon proclaimed June 2011 “Workforce Development Professionals Month” in Missouri. The proclamation specifically honors the staff of Missouri Career Centers, regional workforce boards, and state community colleges. Gov. Nixon’s declaration was announced June 2 at the annual conference of the Missouri Association for Workforce Development.

Further celebrating the contributions of the workforce system, the recent Missouri Association for Workforce Development recognized hard work within their community. MAWD held their conference in Osage Beach June 1-3.

Jaydean Miller, Welcome Team Leader at the Missouri Career Center—Springfield, was recognized as MAWD’s Workforce Professional of the Year. Audrey Matranga, who joined the labor-exchange team at the St. Charles County Missouri Career Center in 2010, was recognized as the outstanding “New Workforce Professional of the Year.” Marsha Nagel, Executive I with the Division of Workforce Development’s Financial Management staff, was the first recipient of the “Workforce Keystone Award,” created by MAWD to recognize internal support of the workforce development professional community.
