BACKGROUND:
This item was considered by the Family and Human Services Committee on May 18, 2020. The Committee voted unanimously to approve the recommendations.
Compared to predecessor legislation, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) substantially changes Local Board composition by reducing local workforce development board size while maintaining a business and industry majority and ensuring representation from labor and employment and training organizations.
Two local board candidates are seeking re-appointment for the following board seats:
• Workforce Business Seat #1 - Michael McGill - Approved on February 4, 2020 at the Full Board Meeting
• Governmental & Economic & Community Development Seat #1 - Carol Asch – Approved on February 4, 2020 at the Full Board Meeting
The following candidates are seeking appointment to vacant board seats:
• Workforce Business Seat #3 - Yolanda Vega – Approved on February 4, 2020 at the Full Board Meeting
• Governmental & Economic & Community Development Seat #3 - Kwame Reed – Approved on February 4, 2020 at the Full Board Meeting
**No other candidate competed for the Workforce Business Seat #1 & #3 and Governmental & Economic & Community Development Seat #1 & #3**
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to seat Workforce Development Board members reduces community input.
