CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A former chief of the Colorado State Patrol is scheduled to speak at a Wyoming workforce conference in Gillette next week.

The eighth annual Governor's Summit on Workforce Services will take place June 14-15. The event will focus on workforce recruitment, development and retention issues, as well as workplace safety.
