Join us for a powerful edition of Lunch with a Leader featuring Amelia Nickerson, CEO of First Step Staffing, one of the largest nonprofit staffing agencies in the U.S.
Amelia will speak on "The Power of Work"—exploring how meaningful employment not only transforms individual lives but also strengthens businesses and builds inclusive communities. With Georgia home to one of the nation’s largest populations under correctional control, Amelia will share why it's critical that the Power of Work extends to individuals impacted by the criminal justice system.
Discover how your business can be part of the solution by tapping into this underutilized workforce to meet hiring needs. Amelia will offer insights on engaging justice-involved individuals and best practices for onboarding and long-term success.
Don’t miss this inspiring and informative conversation that will challenge you to rethink workforce development, equity, and the role your company can play in creating lasting change.
This is a must-attend for leaders, HR professionals, and anyone looking to recruit differently and build with purpose.
💡 Come hungry for lunch—and big ideas.
