Leadership Committee
The Leadership committee supports the initiative committees in working in alignment with the mission of the Pierce County Community Engagement Task Force to meet and sustain the outcomes of their individual group goals in the community.
The second is to guide the Council as a collaborative unit making the necessary adjustments needed to keep the development and overall operations and strategies of the task force moving forward.
Our collaborative leadership brings the intentional and impact lenses to community engagement. It reports to the WorkForce Central leadership board and has the authority to pilot and implement improved practices that help meet the charge above. The PCCETF Leadership Team will report regularly to the WorkForce Central Leadership Board and make recommendations for any changes that directly impact the Pierce County Community Engagement Task Force’s structure or funding.
Strategic Development. Assisting in the needs to meet and sustain the outcome of the committee’s goals in the community.
Collaboration. Deploying improved practices with system partners and employers to better serve clients.
System Alignment. Creating a better understanding of the community need vs organizational wants to ensure equitable access.
