How will the Board be organized?
The WDCSC will be supported by a staff. This staff will consist of a President/CEO and an appropriate number of staff positions to support the work of the Council. Staffing levels will be determined by the WDCSC. Since this will be a relatively large Board, much of the actual work of the Council will be done by a series of smaller sub-committees. Each sub-committee will be developed by the Council and supported by Council staff.
Sub-committees currently operating include:
Executive Committee
-
Finance Committee
-
Personnel Committee
- Service Delivery Committee
- Youth Council
How much time will Board members need to commit each month?
Board members will be expected to attend monthly Board meetings. These meetings are generally scheduled for the first two hours of the work day. Each Board member will also be expected to serve on a sub-committee. These meetings are usually monthly but may meet more frequently depending on the urgency of the specific task or matter at hand. There will be briefing materials which Board members will be required to review and be familiar with for participation in committee discussions. Board members may request information from the staff in preparation for meetings or other Board related activites or to familiarize themselves with any aspect of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) legislation or the overall workforce development system.
