Dear AWEE Supporters,

Our lives are like works of art. A swatch of texture here. A daub of color there. Gradually, the image of our personal destiny is formed by a thousand brush strokes of experience. Richly detailed. Always changing. Truly a masterpiece in the making.

Over the past 28 years, AWEE and its community of stakeholders have been privileged to help more than 100,000 individuals fill their own life canvases by finding work that lets them stand proudly upon their own two feet. These are our “Faces of Success” - the real heroes who continually amaze and inspire us as they create a brilliant framework for our commitment to the cause of
changing lives through the dignity of work.

AWEE’s mission to transform lives is more essential than ever to our hopes for securing a bright future for Arizona’s workers and employers. AWEE has met the growing challenges facing our state and national economies by introducing an unprecedented array of new and expanded workforce development services. We’ve forged exciting new partnerships with community organizations and businesses that are enabling us to serve a broader, more diverse group of participants.

Everyone who gave of their time and contributions to the 2009 Faces of Success luncheon made a statement about their dedication to helping others and serving our community. The AWEE Board of Directors, staff and participants extend a heartfelt thanks.
