42. Jennifer Poff, Executive Director of the North State Building Industry Association Foundation, on How to Work with Community Organizations to Recruit Talent
What’s the best way to work with community organizations to recruit and retain workers from underserved communities to benefit your industry?
In this episode of Associations Thrive, host Joanna Pineda interviews Jennifer Poff, Executive Director from North State Building Industry Association Foundation. Jennifer introduces the Foundation, talks about her journey to becoming ED, and then talks about how the Foundation is thriving and serving the Sacramento area. Jennifer discusses:
- How the Foundation is looking to change the makeup of the residential construction industry in the Sacramento area, which is still predominantly white and male.
- How the Foundation works with over 100 community organizations to recruit and nurture underserved communities; it really does take a village to help people achieve their dream jobs.
- How the Foundation has staff who speak languages like Farsi and Pashto to better serve immigrants from around the world.
- How Project My Own Bed gives kids their own bed AND gives their students experience and a connection to the community.
- How the Foundation has an annual poker tournament to raise funds for the Foundation’s work.
