BACKGROUND:

The Workforce Development Board (WDB) was created pursuant to the federal Workforce Investment Act of 1998 and has responsibility for overall workforce investment policy, a newly mandated workforce investment plan and oversight of the new One-Stop Career Center system.

The composition of the WDB is 39 seats: Business members (20), Education members (2), Labor members (2), Community-Based members (3), Economic Development members (2), and One-Stop Mandated Partners (10).

The Internal Operations Committee reviews nominations for all seats. Seat terms are two years, except that One-Stop Mandated Partner seats have no specific seat terms. Appointments are made by the Board of Supervisors upon the recommendation of the Internal Operations Committee.

The Internal Operations Committee, on March 11, approved the nominations of Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Balch.
