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.
At the October 12, 2026, Family and Human Services Meeting, the Committee approved the appointment of Terrence Cole to the Business #8 Seat and Amy E. Scott-Slovick to the Labor #5 Seat with terms ending June 30, 2030 on the Workforce Development Board (WDB), as follows:
