Gina Weathersby, executive director of Communities In Schools of Coweta County, visits with CIS of Georgia CEO Carol Lewis and CIS of Coweta County Chairman of the Board Dennis McEntire at Eggs and Issues.
Executive Director Gina Weathersby represented CIS of Coweta County at the 2015 Eggs & Issues breakfast at the Georgia World Congress Center today. Eggs & Issues is the Georgia Chamber’s largest annual signature event and featured Governor Nathan Deal, Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle and House Speaker David Ralston.
The event is held each year for state legislative and business leaders to prioritize the issues they believe Georgia needs to tackle. Some 2,000 attendees were at this year’s event, where the governor stressed the importance of education and training Georgia’s future workers.
"We cannot afford to let our workforce gaps widen into ravines,” Deal said. “A job that remains open because of lack of capable applicants undermines the diligent efforts that it took to bring that job here in the first place."
