Bleustein Gets Appointment
Jeffrey L. Bleustein, chairman and chief executive officer of Harley-Davidson, Inc., has been appointed by President George W. Bush as a member of the President’s Council on the 21st Century Workforce, according to a release issued by Harley.
The Council provides information and advice to the president through the secretary of labor, the Office on the 21st Century Workforce within the Department of Labor, and other federal officials. The Office on the 21st Century Workforce gathers and disseminates information relating to future workforce changes including technology, globalization, education, and training by conducting summits, conferences, meetings and other appropriate forums designed to encourage the participation of organizations and individuals interested in such issues.
“I am extremely honored to be appointed by President Bush to the Council on the 21st Century Workforce,” Bleustein said. “I look forward to working with the Council and the secretary of labor on the challenging issues facing business, labor and government in the coming century. I am confident we can use some of the experience and lessons we’ve learned at Harley-Davidson to give both businesses and workers the chance to grow and succeed.”
Bleustein’s appointment along with nine others to the 13-member Council was announced recently by U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao.
“I am very excited to work with such a talented group of individuals in providing the president critical information and advice that will be a catalyst for positive change in our workforce,” Chao said. “I am sure the Council is eager to identify where the government needs to get out of the way of change and to develop strategies for effectively addressing workforce issues.”
Since joining Harley-Davidson in 1975, Bleustein has served in many capacities. In 1997, he became president and chief executive officer and in 1998 he assumed his current role as chairman of the board and chief executive officer.
Other appointees to the Council are Douglas Banes, General Vice President, United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners; James Hoffa, General President, International Brotherhood of Teamsters; Anna Cabilik, President, ANATEK Inc.; Anna Cabral, CEO, Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility; Tom Donahue, President, US Chamber of Commerce; Jim Glassman, Host, Tech Central Station; former Rep. Joe Scarborough; David Lee, Chairman, eOn Communications Corp.
