Current Narrative:

The Workforce Arizona Council (State Council) is the State advisory board to the Governor on workforce development issues. Appointed by the Governor under WIOA, the State Council is made up of leaders representing private business, labor, community-based organizations, the Arizona Legislature, local government and state agencies. The majority of the State Council represents business, including the chair, as selected by the Governor. In order to implement its functions as prescribed by Section 101(d) of the WIOA, the State Council will hold public meetings, pursuant to state open meeting laws, at least four times per year. In order to successfully monitor the efficiency of the workforce development system and make meaningful recommendations to the Governor in carrying out this Plan, The State Council will organize itself into committees, task forces and work groups comprised of Council members, who will provide the leadership, as well as additional community and business representatives. These committees serve to inform and recommend strategies to the full State Council for consideration and a vote, and all meetings will be conducted according to state open meeting law. The committees will serve as a key avenue for involvement in the statewide monitoring and continuous improvement efforts from the local areas, core programs and other individuals who played a key role in drafting the Plan.
