NWA (National Workforce Association) holds one conference and several major legislative meetings annually. All of our conference and legislative events afford members the opportunity to learn and gather information to help improve the effectiveness of their workforce agencies. Education and networking are the two reasons you want to attend NWA's conference and meetings! Just ask other NWA members!

The cornerstone of the NWA annual meetings is the Annual Conference. It is here that NWA members come together to elect new officers, and most importantly the NWA President and the CEO lay out the goals of the association for the next year. Each Conference and Legislative meeting has its own personality and individual focus.

NWA Workforce Development Awards for Excellence
After extensive deliberation the Conference Committee made the decision to take a year off from the presentation of Awards in conjunction with the NWA Annual Legislative Leadership Forum.  It seemed to us that this year it is important that we recognize ALL the outstanding efforts underway in our system – from one-stop development to WIB collaboration and innovative business partnerships – the response of our system during this economic crisis, coupled with the wise investments of the ARRA resources lead by the Workforce Boards, in order to get America back to work are good cause for celebration themselves. 

It is the Conference Committee’s recommendation that the presentation of awards be revisited in the future and possibly be re-established with categories that fit the focus of our current collective system efforts or the goals of reauthorized legislation.  We appreciate your interest in the NWA Awards and your support of the Workforce Investment system at the national level.
