PROVIDENCE – Elizabeth Catucci, executive director of the Partnership for Rhode Island, has been appointed to the B20 USA Task Force on Economic Growth, a group that will help develop policy recommendations for G20 nations on workforce development and economic expansion.

The recommendations developed by the task forces will be presented to G20 governments. Other task forces focus on innovation, trade and energy policy.
The B20 Summit will be held in Washington, D.C., from Nov. 9-11 and is being hosted in the United States for the first time by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
“Economic growth is one of the fundamental drivers of long-term global prosperity,” Catucci said. “It challenges us to think differently about how we build and sustain an agile workforce that can adapt to the evolving demands of a global economy.”
Catucci said collaboration among businesses, governments, educational institutions and community partners is essential to preparing workers for future economic demands.
