Current Narrative:

All newly appointed members are given an orientation that includes the responsibilities of being a board member, an overview of all board functions, an explanation of WIOA, and the strategies that the state is currently implementing to achieve determined workforce goals. Additionally, all Board members have access to the WIC website which includes policy, strategy documents, and other information. The WIC also has an Executive Director and staff in place with workforce development expertise to assist them in executing their Board responsibilities. The WIC also utilizes committees, subcommittees, and task forces to help focus member efforts and enables board members to achieve objectives within specific timeframes (see Section III(a)(1) of this plan for a more complete description of WIC). The composition of the Board is designed to enable input from industry, government, and nonprofit leaders to effectively determine the best policies to effectively implement WIOA in the District.
