<\/em>\u00a0<\/div>\n
At TIGERS any time a leader is tapped for promoting education, training and leadership development\u00a0we think this\u00a0is a big deal. For one, too many organizations cut back on training and development during the recession. As a result\u00a0many employees’s skills have stagnated. \u00a0This makes companies that have\u00a0cut back\u00a0more risky as we emerge from the recession<\/a>. For another,\u00a0 Unions use to\u00a0provide excellent training programs for their members. Sadly we do not hear much about that anymore.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
So when we learned that a\u00a0 leading global provider of value-based business payment processing and information management solutions, announced its chairman, president and CEO, Michael E. Dubyak, was selected by the Maine Development Foundation as the 2012 \u201cChampion of Education, Training and Leadership Development\u201d we wanted to learn more.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The award honors an individual or organization that has gone above and beyond to spark Maine\u2019s economy and help all Maine citizens reach their highest personal potential. Since one of our certified and licensed TIGERS Facilitators<\/a>,\u00a0Tony Lacertosa<\/a>, \u00a0works\u00a0out of Maine, this is a double big deal.<\/div>\n
\n

\u201cI am humbled by this award and recognition,\u201d said Dubyak. \u201cI am passionate about trying to align higher education \u2015 and now K-16 \u2015 with Maine businesses and the growing need for STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) graduates. Maine businesses and the state educational systems must work in partnership if we are to properly train and retain our high school students that come through our college and university systems.\u201d<\/p>\n

With over 600 employees in the greater Portland area, Wright Express takes an active leadership role in supporting organizations that promote economic, educational and personal development opportunities. Dubyak is currently the Chairman of Educate Maine, a business-led organization whose mission is to champion college and career readiness and increased education attainment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe greatly appreciate all that Mike does for Maine,\u201d said Ed Cervone, Maine Development Foundation interim executive director. \u201cHe has demonstrated the ability to collaborate and create successful partnerships across business and academic sectors. His ideas and leadership are truly making a difference in Maine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dubyak sits on the University of Southern Maine Foundation\u2019s Board of Directors. Previously, Dubyak served as chairman of the University of Southern Maine\u2019s Board of Visitors. Dubyak has also served on the United Way of Greater Portland\u2019s Board of Directors, the Governor\u2019s Council on Competitiveness and the Economy, the New England Advisory Council of the Boston Federal Reserve, and the Maine Chamber of Commerce\u2019s Executive Board. Additionally, Dubyak served on the Center for Grieving Children\u2019s Board of Directors and co-chaired its Capital Campaign.<\/p>\n

A special reception to honor the five 2012 Maine Development Foundation \u201cChampions\u201d will be held on September 21 at the Holiday Inn By The Bay in Portland, Maine, during the organization\u2019s 34th<\/sup> annual meeting.<\/p>\n

So, join us in a TIGERS Roar for Michael E. Dubyak and his team.<\/p>\n
