TAD Talks is thrilled to have Jeffrey Dufresne, Chief Financial Officer of Employ Prince George’s join us in this latest episode. Jeff shares with us his answer to the Million Dollar Question.

This hinders many workforce organizations from building capacity and serving their communities in areas that are critical to improving the socioeconomic environments in which they live and work. Jeff walks us through his strategies and principles for how workforce organizations can grow from a one million dollar budge to a multi million dollar power house for community impact.
