To Our Partners:
On Tuesday evening, Worksystems, Inc.’s (WSI) Board of Directors named Andrew McGough, the current Chief Operating Officer of WSI, to be the agency’s next Executive Director. The Board was unanimous in its decision to offer Andrew the position. “The Board is united in its support for Andrew and believes in his ability to lead WSI and successfully bring together the range of partners necessary to build a world class workforce development system in the region,” said John Leeper, Washington County Commissioner and WSI Governing Board Member.
Each of the local elected officials on the Board, Washington County Commissioner John Leeper, Multnomah County Commissioner Lonnie Roberts, and City of Portland Commissioner Sam Adams, participated in the selection process and were at the Board meeting when the vote was held.
Andrew has served as WSI’s Chief Operating Officer since October 2004 and brings to the position more than 15 years of leadership experience in workforce development organizations in Oregon, Washington State, and Washington, D.C. He has significant expertise in leading system development efforts to improve the delivery of workforce services for job seekers and business customers, as well as a comprehensive understanding of workforce and economic development programs and policies. Andrew also brings to the position an extensive background in community planning and business development.
We are looking forward to the passion and commitment Andrew brings to his work and welcome him on board.
Sincerely,
John Leeper
