Barbara Rivera-Holmes, the new Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Labor, recently paid a visit to Rome, and she will be back.
Local manufacturers and workforce professionals had an opportunity to share concerns with Rivera-Holmes during her visit last week, states Pam Powers-Smith, President and CEO of the Rome-Floyd Chamber.
Rivera-Holmes, former President and CEO of the Albany Area Chamber of Commerce, was sworn in as state Labor Commissioner on April 4th. She will again address Romans during the Rome-Floyd Chamber’s State of Workforce event in October, says Powers-Smith.
Chamber members will get an update from local lawmakers during the 2025 Georgia Legislative Recap on May 29th. To register, visit www.romega.com or call (706) 291-7663.
