Any such actions shall be reported and subject to the approval of the Board at its next regular or special meeting.

• Organize committees and assign responsibility to insure that essential information on the status of WIB activities is available
• Administrative oversight

• Provide oversight of committee actions in carrying out the area Strategic Plan and the WIA

• Liaison with chief elected official and other local elected officials on WIB performance and activities
• Identifies and recruits new WIB members
• Responsible for developing strategy for advocacy and information with respect to legislative issues at both the state and federal level

A strategic goal to be addressed by this Committee is to become an active advocacy voice and take political action on workforce development issues at the local, state, and national level.
