May 10th, 2023 - Today we congratulate Nina Pande, our Skills for Rhode Island's Future Affiliate Site Executive Director, for her accomplishments as a 2023 Business Women Awards program honoree.

Nina was chosen as an industry leader in the social services and nonprofit sector among the 28 total honorees selected by Providence Business News. The program annually celebrates women across business, government and nonprofit sectors making an impact in leadership roles.

“Nina has been willing to make big and bold decisions despite potentially facing obstacles behind the scenes. She has driven change and created economic mobility for the state’s unemployed and underemployed,” said Daniel Cervantes, Senior Vice President of National Expansion & Strategic Initiatives at Skills for America’s Future.
