An Afternoon with the new RPS205 Superintendent, Dr. Larry Huff

Description

Welcome Dr. Larry Huff: Building Rockford's Talent Pipeline

The Greater Rockford Chamber of Commerce is inviting the Rockford region’s business leaders to welcome Dr. Larry Huff, RPS 205’s new superintendent, as he starts the district’s next chapter as its leader.

This event is intentionally centered on the critical role our public schools play in supporting the Rockford region’s talent and workforce.

 As our business leaders know, our talent pipeline starts in the classroom. This event is an opportunity to engage Dr. Huff directly on how RPS 205 can help ensure students graduating from our public schools see a future — and a job — right here at home, and to understand his goals to approach our talent and workforce opportunities moving forward.

We also hope to hear more about how we as a business community can best support him, our district, and most importantly, our young people.

The goal of this event? A strategic, genuine, problem-solving agenda that will strengthen the connection between education and our region's key industries.

The GRCC is thrilled Dr. Huff is hosting a free, 4-part series for families and students. Meanwhile, the GRCC’s event is intended to be more high-level, intensive, and specific to topics our business leaders are focused on. Food and drinks will be served to those in attendance.

Registration closes July 16.
