Sun, Sand and Success: The Governor’s Workforce Summit Sees Largest Enrollment Yet on STX

The fifth annual Governor’s Workforce Development Summit drew large crowds to the Caribbean Cinema on St. Croix on Tuesday.

The theme this year is “Sun, Sand, and Success,” said one of the moderators and a member of the Workforce Summit Asiah Clendinen Gumbs. The summit allows professionals, innovators and leaders a place to gather to discuss strategies for achieving work excellence in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Also moderating the event, Michael Fazio, president of “Workforce 180,” said that this year’s summit saw the largest registration and a record number of students present. “The students are here to hear from all our great speakers and learn why life in the Virgin Islands goes beyond schooling.” Present in the audience were Gov. Albert Bryan Jr., senators, commissioners, directors, entrepreneurs, and other professionals. “We are giving out strategies for work excellence today,” said Gumbs.
