The August 2025 Workforce Innovation Board member spotlight: Yolanda McIntosh Director of Organizational Wellbeing & Culture, Associated General Contractors of MN WIB member since 2020 "Homegrown in the Rondo Community, Ramsey County was my beginning. Not only as my birthplace but the birthing of where my visions for who and what I could become came to fruition. My education, my first career, and my first business (at the age of 17) all have its roots in Ramsey County. As the WIB Chair, my vision is for the board to further foster innovative ways to bridge the gap between Community and all areas of workforce, education, and economic development while expanding on the existing rich culture and experience that Ramsey County, the most diverse county in the state, has to offer."
