Adam leads CWA's statewide advocacy, policy, and capacity-building work for California's 45 local workforce boards. He spent 28 years in the field — 18 as Executive Director of the Workforce Investment Board of Tulare County — and brings a data-driven, equity-first approach to connecting people with meaningful work.

koropeza@calworkforce.orgTom leads CWA's push to design services around the people who actually use them. A former community journalist turned human-centered designer, he founded the design firm Middlestate and served as a Workforce Transformation Corps Fellow. He believes people, given a real seat at the table, make systems better.
