Each quarter, NCAC hosts a Partners Luncheon to bring together representatives from each of the agency’s partners. The partners luncheons provide an outlet for open communication between agency partners to discuss current issues and stay connected. “Bringing all the partners together on a regular basis helps us to serve our customers by providing up to date, correct information and to know the latest trends,” said Don Ingram, administrator for employment security for the Tennessee Department of Labor & Workforce Development.
