Stephen M. Wing (Rhode Island) is director, government programs, for CVS Corporation. He has been in the drugstore business for over 30 years and has devoted the last 16 to working with government agencies, nontraditional employment organizations, and faith-based institutions in recruiting targeted groups of people for employment. CVS Pharmacies of Promise is a new initiative, which gives young people in inner city schools an opportunity to see pharmacy as a career path. Wing has also assisted CVS in developing cutting-edge programs such as the One-Stop/CVS Regional Learning Center design in Washington, D.C., and the Cassadaga Job Corps Pharmacy Technician Program, both of which have received national attention. Under Wing’s leadership, CVS’s government programs division has taken an active role in welfare-to-work and faith-based initiatives; since 1996 CVS has hired over 45,000 people living in poverty, who effectively went off public assistance. Wing has also worked hard to employ older workers, in partnership with the National Council on the Aging (NCOA). Wing serves on the NCOA Leadership Council, the Columbia School of Social Work Advisory Board, and the University of Virginia Continuing Education Advisory Board, as well as on the boards of the Center for Workforce Preparation and Corporate Voices for Working Families. He holds a B.S. in education from Winona State University in Minnesota.
