ALICE Business Roundtable

On behalf of United Way of Pierce County and Workforce Central, Dona Ponepinto and Katie Condit would like to invite you to join fellow business and community leaders for the Together for ALICE Business Roundtable:
September 23 | 11:30 a.m.–1:00 p.m.
WorkSource Tacoma
2121 State Street, Tacoma, 3rd Floor
Lunch will be provided
Across Pierce County, many of the people who keep our businesses and communities running are working—and still struggling to make ends meet. These households are ALICE: Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. They are an essential part of our workforce, yet the rising cost of housing, childcare, transportation, food, and other basic necessities is making economic stability increasingly difficult to achieve.
This roundtable will bring business and community leaders together to learn more about the realities facing ALICE households, hear local perspectives, and discuss how employers and community partners can be part of creating greater economic stability and opportunity in Pierce County. We will also introduce ALICE @Work, an employer-focused initiative offering practical strategies and resources that can support employee stability, retention, and productivity.
Your perspective as a business leader is important to this conversation, and we hope you will consider joining us. Here is the link to registration Together for ALICE Business Roundtable
