La Universidad Excelsior da la bienvenida a Todd Greene al Consejo de Administración
ALBANY, N.Y. — The 91Թ Board of Trustees has named Atlanta resident Todd Greene, vice president of the Work, Education, and Labor Division (WELD) at the Urban Institute and executive director of WorkRise, among its six new trustees. The University’s governing body, the board consists of individuals from across the country who are leaders in the fields of business, education, and government.
In his role as a vice president of WELD at the Urban Institute, Greene leads a team of K–12, higher education, workforce development, apprenticeship, and labor market experts who shape education and training. He helps support a labor market that delivers economic security, dignity, and voice. He also serves as the executive director of WorkRise, a research-to-action network focused on jobs, workers, and mobility hosted by the Urban Institute.
WorkRise financia investigaciones sobre prácticas, políticas y programas prometedores, y lleva a cabo investigaciones fundamentales sobre las tendencias del mercado laboral con el fin de fortalecer a los empleadores, informar la formulación de políticas y prácticas, y proporcionar una movilidad y seguridad económicas genuinas a los trabajadores.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute to Excelsior’s important mission and to support the life-changing work the University does for working adults and others,” said Greene. “Helping more learners earn meaningful credentials that open doors to opportunity is deeply aligned with my own professional values.”
Antes de incorporarse al Urban Institute, Greene fue director ejecutivo del Atlanta University Center Consortium. Reportando directamente a los cuatro presidentes miembros (Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, Morehouse School of Medicine y Spelman College), Greene dirigió un equipo centrado en mejorar los programas académicos, fomentar la investigación interdisciplinaria y catalizar una amplia agenda de desarrollo económico.
Durante más de 10 años, Greene fue vicepresidente del departamento de investigación del Banco de la Reserva Federal de Atlanta, donde dirigió iniciativas de investigación, políticas y divulgación para promover el crecimiento económico inclusivo. Greene fundó y dirigió el grupo de trabajo sobre desarrollo del capital humano y la fuerza laboral del Sistema de la Reserva Federal y puso en marcha el Centro de la Reserva Federal para la Fuerza Laboral y las Oportunidades Económicas.
Ha sido presidente del consejo de administración del Consejo Internacional de Desarrollo Económico, preside el consejo asesor nacional del Centro Heldrich para el Desarrollo de la Fuerza Laboral de la Universidad de Rutgers, forma parte de los consejos de administración de la Corporación para una Fuerza Laboral Cualificada y del Fondo Nacional para Soluciones Laborales, y es miembro del Consejo Asesor del Instituto de Finanzas Sociales.
