Annual recruitment cycles for new members typically occur in the summer with new appointments made in August or September for terms that start October 1st. This roster is accurate and complete as of March 10, 2022.
Two CWDC members resigned in January 2022 due to a relocation out of state and a change in occupations. These resignations have resulted in the percentage of workforce representatives being just below 20%. The CWDC Executive Committee is meeting on March 16th to discuss candidates to fill these vacancies, and then we will be working with our Governor's Office of Boards and Commissions to get new appointments completed by the end of March.
