Searching In San Diego

In this episode, originally recorded at CWA's Meeting of the Minds conference, we are joined by Latoya Reed-Adjei, from the Alameda County Workforce Development Board, to explore what it means to lead through change with courage, creativity, and purpose. Discover how workforce systems can evolve from compliance-driven bureaucracy into proactive, relationship-focused engines of equity and opportunity. Latoya also explains how social capital can close gaps in access in the age of AI, and shares her vision for reframing employer engagement as partnership—not transaction. This is a conversation about navigating uncertainty, transforming systems, and leading “fearless forward.”
