Greg's search committee was very impressed with Greg's work in rhetoric (hermeneutics of John Dewey especially) and Greg's grassroots experience working with Writing Across Communities here at UNM. In Greg's words,
I have accepted a
position as Director, Strategic Communications for the ACT Foundation. The
foundation was established as a public trust non-profit organization in October,
2013 with the mandate to establish a national learning economy to benefit
working learners. The goal is to develop a nationally recognized certification
program that allows working learners to gain mobility across industries and
across companies based on their skills and training learned on the job. The
foundation is working to build a network of industry associations, education,
and worker training programs to collaborate in this effort. This economic plan
is currently in design and development phase with organizations from all across
the country, and across the political spectrum, joining in the effort. The ACT
Foundation's role is to develop the strategy, provide funding for innovative
solutions, and provide leadership for this nationwide effort.
As Director, Strategic Communications, Greg's role is to develop the
national communications strategy, introduction, and ongoing development of the
national learning economy. This involves working with key stakeholders from
government, industry, and educational organizations to develop the key
messaging, communications strategy, and overall outreach effort to help make
this new economy a reality. This is a senior management position at the
foundation that is also responsible for managing stakeholder relations,
developing the overall framing and direction of the learning economy, and
providing internal leadership for the foundation's employees.
