(EDWARDS, Colorado \u2013 May 19, 2020)<\/strong> Strengthening Eagle County\u2019s Workforce<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vail Valley Partnership (VVP) has made a commitment to the quality of Eagle County\u2019s future. As we rise from this unprecedented disruption in the wake of COVID19, we are again reminded that we are stronger together.\u00a0 In that spirit VVP is offering Community Resiliency Bootcamp, a five session group learning opportunity where business leaders can walk through the steps of recovery together, with a focus on the major community issues and led by experts in their field.<\/p>\n

The first session will align our group on post-pandemic policies in regard to cleaning, touchless payment and customer service.\u00a0 The next two sessions shift to healthcare, childcare and behavioral health with clear and data driven policies for businesses to start implementing immediately.\u00a0 Experts on Environmental Sustainability will guide us through easily adoptable procedures to increase our ROI while helping reduce our carbon footprint.\u00a0 Finally, housing experts will discuss options for increasing future workforce housing inventory including steps businesses can take now to lay the groundwork for long term solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis community has a long history of coming together and supporting each other when times get rough. \u00a0We wanted to give business owners a chance to work through the processes of reopening, changes in procedure, etc side-by-side with others experiencing the same challenges.\u201d Says Community Development Director Erik Williams of Vail Valley Partnership. \u201cIn the same way we needed to be separate to be safe, we absolutely need to be together to be successful, it\u2019s what this community is built on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vail Valley Partnership strongly believes that if a community is seriously interested in creating change and supporting innovation, it will begin with a firm commitment to analyze its challenges and to identify, educate, train, and support a team of public and private sector community leaders to attack those issues. It is only by coming together that a community can develop the intelligent, creative and energetic local leadership network that is essential for the community to achieve its full potential.<\/p>\n

VVP Members receive special savings on these programs, including nonprofit rates.\u00a0 The intention is to be able to have this group meet in person, however we will closely follow public health guidelines with respect to our safety and the safety of others.<\/p>\n
