Michigan – Lenawee Now, a not-for-profit private-public partnership driving economic opportunity in Lenawee County, has announced that Jack Townsley, industry sector coordinator, has been honored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation as a Talent Pipeline Management® (TPM) Fellow. The TPM® Fellows are a group of leaders within the U.S. Chamber Foundation’s Talent Pipeline Management National Learning Network (NLN) that provide guidance on the continual expansion of the TPM initiative and serve as TPM ambassadors.
Townsley was selected to the esteemed leadership group along with twelve other leaders from across the country representing chambers of commerce, economic development and workforce agencies, education partners, and nonprofit organizations. Individuals were selected based on their contributions to the network including their involvement in supporting a talent supply chain approach through employer collaboratives, their engagement in continued TPM learning opportunities, and their willingness to lend support and mentorship to their TPM peers across the country.
“TPM Fellows provide tremendous value to the U.S. Chamber Foundation and our growing network of TPM partners,” said Vice President Jaimie Francis. “We are grateful for their demonstrated leadership both in their respective communities and to the TPM Network, and we look forward to continuing to learn with them as they strengthen talent pipelines.”
The Talent Pipeline Management National Learning Network is made up of more than 900 people who have graduated from the U.S. Chamber Foundation’s TPM Academy®, a training for those who are committed to building dynamic, sustainable talent pipelines and closing the skills gap to provide better outcomes for students, workers, employers, and education providers.
