This work is made possible with generous investment from the Appalachian Regional Commission's (ARC) POWER initiative and the Central Appalachian Network (CAN). The POWER initiative is an integrated, multi-agency effort to invest federal economic and workforce development resources in communities and regions negatively impacted by changes in the coal economy. CAN's mission is to work with individuals, community leaders, businesses, policy makers, nonprofit organizations, and others to develop and deploy new economic strategies that create wealth and reduce poverty while conserving and restoring the environment.

Welcoming New Faces & Saying Goodbye to Familiar Ones
As July begins we say goodbye to our 2016-2017
Ohio CDC Association
AmeriCorps VISTA, Erin Phillips. We'd like to thank Erin for all the hard work she's accomplished this year, including spearheading ACEnet's 1st Women in Business Conference, creating i
nformational brochures for individuals looking to start their own businesses after incarceration that link people to ACEnet & The Work Station, creating
How to Start a Business packet that helps walk ex-offenders through ACEnet's intake process, and for the countless hours of research Erin completed to increase ACEnet's capacity in the field of Workforce Development. Erin has been an unbelievable asset & we're sorry to see her go.
With Erin's departure, we welcome Madison Yee as she begins her 2017 - 2018 VISTA service year, and we're certain we'll see great things from her!
