Man-Tra-Con Corporation CEO Kathy Lively has announced plans to retire by the end of the year.
Lively joined Man-Tra-Con as executive director in 2003, and in 2006 was given the title of chief executive officer. Lively currently serves as staff to the Southern Illinois Workforce Development Board, collaborating with multiple state agencies and economic development partners. She also participates on the Regional Economic Development Corporation, Greater Egypt Planning and Development Commission, and Jefferson County Development Corporation boards.
Lively serves on the Advisory committee of SI NOW!, a regional initiative created to attract a skilled workforce and new employers to the southern Illinois area. In addition, she leads a 19-county apprenticeship expansion grant with a team of partners from southern Illinois, and a Delta Regional Authority WORC Grant for an aviation technician program.
"It has been a privilege to work with so many amazing partners to improve the well-being of job seekers and employers in beautiful southern Illinois," Lively says.
Lively has been President of the Illinois Adult Education and Community Educators Association and the Illinois Workforce Partnership (IWP). She has served as executive director of the ConnectSI 20-county economic development initiative focused on Broadband deployment in rural southern Illinois. She has also served as the Illinois delegate to the Delta Regional Authority Leadership Network.
Lively has worked with regional partners to offer employment and training services to dislocated workers affected by plant closures, helping them transition to new careers and employment -- especially Maytag (1,000 employees) and TUMS (500 employees). She led the team that provided National Emergency Grant assistance to residents of Saline County, helping individuals and businesses recover from tornado damage and flooding.
Lively will be actively involved with the Man-Tra-Con corporate board and the Southern Illinois Workforce Development Board as they work to find an ideal candidate to fill her position. Lively plans to work onsite at Man-Tra-Con during the transition to new leadership, offering guidance and assistance as needed.
Terance Henry, Chairperson for the Southern Illinois Workforce Development Board, says, "For 35 years, Kathy Lively has given her heart and soul to make Southern Illinois a better place to Live, Work, and Learn. She has cultivated the lives of many and will truly be missed."
