Chief Elected Officials Consortium
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) requires a Chief Elected Officials Consortium (Consortium) to establish and oversee Local Workforce Development Areas. The Consortium is comprised of the Mayor or Board Chair of each local government in the Local Workforce Development Area. The Consortium’s primary responsibilities are to:
- Designate a member jurisdiction to serve as the local grant recipient for WIOA funds
- Receive nominations and make appointments to the SVWDB Board of Directors
- Support the SVWDB in fiscal and program oversight
- Act as a connection to local economic development to help align the public workforce system with the regional economy
Chief Elected Officials Consortium Agreement
WIOA delegates certain functions in connection with the governance of the Workforce Development Board to the “chief elected officials” of the Member Jurisdictions, and requires the Member Jurisdictions to enter into an agreement regarding the joint exercise of the powers so delegated. The SVWDB Chief Elected Officials Consortium Agreement and supporting documents can be viewed at the links below.
