Maria Flynn’s energy and narrative exude challenging the status quo. As long as our education and workforce systems deprive people of equitable economic advancement, Flynn leads with practical and innovative solutions to fix what’s broken in our systems to ensure a promising future for the learners and workers of our country. To get to a future of learning and work that is inclusive and effective, Flynn knows it’s not one entity’s responsibility or obligation. She routinely and passionately advocates for nonpartisan partnership, collaboration, funding, and execution for systemic change.

Her more than three decades of experience as an executive in the U.S. Department of Labor, her state and federal policy expertise, her understanding of what’s needed for everyone to succeed in their careers, and her commitment to equity and inclusion position Flynn to distinguish reality from political or self-indulgent responses to jobs for the future.
