Dr. Linda Bowman
Chair
Community College of Aurora

Function: This sub-committee of the Government Affairs Committee works to forge strong ties between education officials and the business community. This relationship allows both parties to develop educational programs that are desirable to employers, and employees who are located in Aurora. It is partnered with Junior Achievement and Big Brothers Big Sisters to link the business community to schools.

The Chamber, in partnership with the City of Aurora, Aurora Public Schools, Aurora Economic Development Council, residential developers & homebuilders, and other key stakeholder groups are embarking upon a long-range planning effort to establish a comprehensive vision and set of recommendations centered around public education to support the significant residential growth and workforce development that is planned along the E-470 Corridor over the next twenty-five years.
