About the Project

This webpage was designed by members of the 2024-2025 Leadership Washington County cohort. Designed to include a select group of individuals from diverse backgrounds, Leadership Washington County is an intensive 10-month program that strengthens participants' network of contacts and actively engages them in issues around topics like economic development, history, art & culture, education, religion, politics and social service needs.

As part of the 2024-2025 cohort's Workforce Development project, WorkReady WashCo serves as a one-stop-shop for presenting many of Washington County's numerous workforce development resources all in one place.

Webpage designers include: Christie Johnson (Ignite Business Incubator), Johanna Burdine (Redevelopment Authority of Washington County), Tina Hilk (CORE Natural Resources), Doug Sheerer (Community Bank), Amy Petro (Peters Township Chamber of Commerce), Julie Chandler (Chandler Coaching & Consulting), Ryanne Dougherty (Washington County Chamber of Commerce)
