Cong. Tim Griffin (R) will host a jobs conference on Wednesday, October 19, 2011 at the Clinton Presidential Center.
According to a press release from his office, the conference will bring together "leading authorities from across Arkansas’ business and educational spectrum" to discuss job creation.
“Over the past nine months, I’ve had the chance to speak with constituents from all over central Arkansas about job creation—at town halls, during meetings in my office, and through phone calls and letters,” Griffin said. “This conference, in many ways, is a continuation of that conversation. Specifically, it will focus on hearing from those who are training our workforce, competing in the marketplace and managing their businesses and payroll.”
The focus of the jobs conference is to identify:
- Obstacles facing job creators
- Opportunities for creating jobs in Arkansas
- Public policies that will encourage private-sector job creation
Griffin says more than 60 community and business leaders are scheduled to participate.
The conference will be held in the Clinton Presidential Center’s Great Hall and will begin at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 19. The event is free and open to the public.
