Our Success Stories Can Be YOUR Success Story!

Workforce Exec Director - Southern Maryland

As a relatively new Local Workforce Development Area director in Southern Maryland, I sought technical assistance when it was time to create our first WIOA Local Integrated Plan. Knowing of her reputation as a workforce development expert, I was sure to include Mary Ann Lawrence, in my pool of RFP recipients. I was delighted when she responded to the RFP, and PowerNotes was the clear choice based on Mary Ann’s vast knowledge and experience in workforce development. Mary Ann was a pleasure to work with! Our plan turned out to be extremely robust and inclusive of all elements required to successfully forge our path over the next four years. Since then, Mary Ann has assisted us with local plan updates, One Stop Operator procurements, trainings, monitorings, and monthly WIOA Partner Alignment Meetings. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

“Partnering with MaryAnn has been one of the best decisions our organization has made. MaryAnn’s wealth of knowledge and experience with Workforce and WIOA is invaluable. She has successfully bestowed her knowledge to our Core Partners which has been a key component in accomplishing our goals set forth in our Local Plan. She is dedicated, reliable and committed to her clients and makes you her top priority! She truly is an asset to our Workforce.”

Executive Director - Kansas WorkforceONE

MaryAnn Lawrence has been invaluable to our organization. Whether providing Local Area monitoring, facilitating regional guidance for strategic planning, serving as an expert to our staff and Local Workforce Development Board, or motivating staff as a guest speaker, MaryAnn's guidance, knowledge, and passion for workforce development has been clear. Over the past year, her expertise has been on full display to all levels of our Local Area staff as they have worked to complete the Career Workforce Development Professional (CWDP) certification. This self-paced credential, offered virtually through an extensive library of modules authored and delivered by MaryAnn herself, provided staff with the opportunity to build their base of knowledge while continuing to put what they were learning into practice through their daily work with job seekers, employers, and partners. From workforce center and field staff to Board members and One-Stop partners, Kansas WorkforceONE graciously and enthusiastically recommend MaryAnn Lawrence for any of your workforce development needs
