What are the resources that are available to help bridge existing skills gaps and other barriers? Members of the Board are selected because they have specialized knowledge/insight in one or more of these areas and they are in a position to influence the actions of other key decision-makers in the community. Members are also selected because they are executives or senior managers in their respective organizations. They will have skills and experience in long-range planning, group problem-solving, capital investment strategies, and organization/business development. Members will be expected to bring their expertise in these areas to bear on the effective performance of the functions of the Board and the management of the workforce system. The Board is a decision-making, not advisory body. It has direct and final authority regarding the use of almost $3 million dollars in annual funding. It has significant influencing authority regarding more that $ 6 million in additional public funding. As the implementation of the Workforce Investment Act evolves, the power and the scope of this influencing authority will grow.

In addition to participation at regular Board meetings, each member is expected to be a member of at least one of the permanent committees or subcommittees of the Board.
