Supporting Our Community: WFSDallas Volunteers at Goodwill Industries of Dallas

Shaping the Future of Work: WFSDallas attends the 2025 Texas Workforce Conference
WFSDallas was proud to attend the 2025 Texas Workforce Conference over the past several days. Our team returned to Dallas energized and inspired by the sessions we attended and the meaningful conversations we shared with workforce professionals from across the state. One of the highlights of the event was the participation of our own Richard Perez, who contributed his expertise as a panelist in the session “Stronger Together: Rethinking How We Support Employers.” His insights helped advance the discussion on innovative and collaborative approaches to employer engagement.
We were also thrilled to see several of our valued partners recognized with awards during the conference. Their accomplishments reflect the strong partnerships and shared dedication that drive our work forward.
