On-Boarding Initiative (Current Initiative)

Future Forward Green County in cooperation with the Chambers of Commerce throughout Green County have begun an innovative program to retain our relocated employees.  We invite the human resource professional or CEO from the businesses throughout our business community inGreenCountyto attend this pilot event to evaluate this on-boarding event.  The purpose is to help connect newly relocated employees to our community and others who live here. 

The event will be offered twice a year – once in late August, and then again in early February.  New employees throughoutGreenCountywill be introduced to a variety of organizations in our county.  It will take place at a dining hall inMonroeand run from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.  Organizations will be invited to set up a booth/display to promote their programs to the new employees.  Examples of these groups will be:

This FREE event will consist of:

• Introduction of the fantastic organizations on display;
• Business speed networking so each new employee can meet and greet;
• An outstanding buffet lunch from one of our local restaurants;
• And time for even more networking and visiting booths to gather more information.

Green County Community Survey (Previous Initiative)

In 2009, the Future Forward! Green County initiative (FFGC) busied itself on several fronts. One major initiative was to learn more about what younger generations are looking for in a community when it comes to deciding where to settle down, go to work and raise a family. To this end, the later part of 2009 was spent conducting a series of seven surveys designed to gather information about how our community is perceived by young professionals and others. Now that the survey process is complete, we are evaluating the information gathered and setting our priorities for future projects and initiatives. You can learn more about results of the community survey (including viewing the data collected) on the Community Survey page.
