Page 4 <br />Mr. Witherspoon <br />April 11, 1995 <br /> <br />The core functions of the Centralina PlO are policy guidance (strategic planning <br />and coordination) and program oversight (program planning, labor market <br />information, plan review, and evaluation/monitoring). <br /> <br />The Centralina PIC meeting is generally held the second Tuesday of the <br />meeting month at 4:30 PM at Centralina COG in Charlotte. <br /> <br />Workforce Investment Boards (WlBs) - Workforce Investment Boards or <br />WIBs are designed to be the comprehensive planning board/council for the <br />development of a comprehensive workforce investment plan. The WIBs will <br />initiate planning, coordination, and integration of various workforce <br />preparedness services at the local level, in addition to compiling labor market <br />information and conducting analysis. The Workforce Development Boards will <br />play a key role in the new re-employment system designed to better meet the <br />needs of dislocated workers and other individuals seeking to enter or re-enter <br />the labor force. <br /> <br />The Workforce Investment Board replaces separate governing boards for <br />individual federally funded programs. The composition of the WlBs shall be <br />employers, which shall be the majority and limited to Chief Executive Officers, <br />business owners, or plant managers; officers from labor organizations and <br />community based organizations; chief local elected officials; and the balance <br />from community leaders in economic development, education, training and <br />academia, human service agencies, and other generally acknowledged <br />community leaders. <br /> <br />NOTE: Current private industry councils may become workforce investment <br />boards if they meet all criteria. The complete role for WlBS has not yet been <br />defined. If county commissioners are interested in pursuing this option for the <br />future, please contact David Hollars at Centralina for further information. <br /> <br />C. Specific Requests <br /> <br />Please obtain nominations and appoint two (2) individuals to fill the terms of <br />July 1, 1995 - June 30, 1997. Nominations and appointments to fill the <br />categories of Education and Social Services are requested. Mr. Lunsford is <br />eligible for reappointment as the Education representative. Mr. Polk is eligible <br />for reappointment as the Social Services representative. <br /> <br />If an individual does not wish to be reappointed to the PIC, please obtain <br />necessary nominations for appointments. <br /> <br /> <br />
