Hello, Career Pathways Group Members,
I want to take a minute to introduce myself as the new moderator for the Career Pathways community of practice. I am excited to be joining you as LINCS continues to grow and develop its community and resources for adult education and workforce development practitioners.
In addition to working with LINCS, I am a Career and Technical Education Resource Specialist with Arlington Public Schools (VA). I have fifteen years of classroom and administrative experience in public and charter schools, as well as non-profit educational organizations in the Washington, DC region. I began my career in education teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, in both higher education and community-based settings, and continue to volunteer as a conversation partner with international students.
Each of you brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our group, and I look forward to getting to know you, and learn as a member of this diverse and talented community. I welcome your comments and suggestions for making our collaboration a meaningful and productive part of your weekly schedule.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to me in the coming days and introduce yourself, and your work. The more that I learn about each of you, the better able I will be to advocate for our needs as a community, and work towards the goal of expanding our collective resources, knowledge and opportunities.
Mike Cruse
Career Pathways Group Moderator

Good afternoon,
It is a pleasure to meet you. I am the curriculum specialist for the Department of Labor grant at Amarillo College. I'm trying to get my email under control (unfortunately I need a BIGGER shovel...perhaps even a backhoe) and have several emails and postings that I needed to follow up on...it has been just a tad busy, as I am sure it has been for everyone!
I am getting ready to co-present at the NCPN conference next month as well as all the other things that seem to pile up (including looking at new graduate programs for myself).
Have a wonderful weekend and I look forward to further collaboration.
Regards,
Marissa
