President Connie Ledoux Book discusses workforce and AI at Alamance Growth Summit in Triad Business Journal

Building a workforce that's future ready was the focus of Triad Business Journal’s Alamance Growth Summit on March 12.

Elon University President Connie Ledoux Book was featured in a Triad Business Journal article highlighting regional leaders’ discussions on workforce development and the growing impact of artificial intelligence at the Alamance Growth Summit.

The story focuses on how Alamance County is preparing for long-term economic shifts, including an aging workforce and the increasing integration of AI across industries. During the summit, Book emphasized the importance of taking a forward-looking approach to these challenges.

“We actually have five generations in the workplace working side by side for the first time in history right now in the United States,” Book said. “I believe that the businesses that thrive in the future will be the ones who can put a lot of brain power behind that and leverage it for the future of their business.”
