of a wonderful conversation about work, our economy in the bay area and the common good with lisa countrymen, the chief executive and strategic officer at jvs. we are joined by maria reyes, a medical assistance from the jvs program. so lisa, i know there are different ways jvs lets the community know what it is doing. i want you to talk more about how jvs lets the public know it's work. >> sure, opportunities like this are an occasion to do that . but really our big event is strictly business, which is our annual luncheon. that's our big fundraising event for the year. and it's really a celebration of the people who have benefited from our programs and an opportunity to showcase our fantastic employer partnerships. and she will be honored as one of our employees of the year this year. >> congratulations. what brought you to jvs? >> i was struggling to find jobs. i had been away for my medical job for a couple years and when i started applying it was really hard for me to find jobs. employers will say she is three years off of a job and won't call me. or we went in another direction, thank yo
