Experienced Worker Initiative Recognition - Marc Czarnecki of MAWDB and WNC Broadband
Mountain Area Workforce Development Board 2021 Recognition Awards
The Experienced Workforce Initiative (EWI) Award is given to an individual in Western North Carolina for outstanding leadership in promoting engagement of adults age 50+ in the workforce continuum, including volunteer work, stipend-based training, entrepreneurship, and/or part-time and full-time employment. We are pleased to announce our 2021 recipient, Marc Czarnecki.
Marc Czarnecki has championed, modeled, and tirelessly supported 50+ workers and the experienced workforce continuum with more energy and enthusiasm than one might otherwise believe to be possible from one individual.
As a volunteer, Marc helped establish the Experienced Workforce Initiative in 2017. Since then, he has participated in planning and promoting EWI events using technology and social media platforms. Marc took the initiative to create, and now actively maintains, EWI’s website, blog, LinkedIn page, Twitter feed, YouTube channel, and Facebook page!
As the entrepreneurial ‘Web Tech Czar’, Marc is continually advocating for EWI and its mission. He promotes and supports people 50+ with technical training and consultation everywhere he goes, including through his part-time and contract work with the Land of Sky Regional Council at NC Works Career Center in Asheville; the Digital Literacy Network; the WNC Broadband Project; RN Patient Advocacy NC; continuing education at AB Tech; and his work with Western Carolina Rescue Ministries.
Marc is always thinking outside of the box and empowering people age 50+ to access and use technology. His talent and success make him one of those rare individuals who impacts not only individuals, but whole communities at the same time!
Thank you, Marc Czarnecki – for so generously sharing your talents with and on behalf of the Experienced Workforce Initiative, and for your leadership and support for experienced workers! Congratulations!
