DISCUSSION:
The HCWDB is a commission appointed by the Board of Supervisors and is required by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) to oversee said funds and the workforce system in Humboldt County (the Local Workforce Development Area). The mission of the HCWDB is to bring together resources to meet employer and employee needs and advance the prosperity of local communities. WIOA requires certain public agencies and labor unions to be appointed as members of the HCWDB. HCWDB membership must be balanced with an equal number, plus one, of private sector members, as WIOA regulations require that at least 51 percent of the HCWDB membership is composed of the private sector.
Members up for reappointment who wish to continue to serve on the HCWDB include:
• Dan Heinen - Business Representative - Express Employment Professionals
• Michael Hetticher - Labor Union Representative - Postal Workers’ Union Local 1056
• Jeff Hunerlach - Labor Union Representative - Operating Engineers Local #3
• Dean Kerstetter - Business Representative - Humboldt Redwood Company
• Kari Love - CBO Representative - Redwood Community Action Agency
• Libby Maynard - Business Representative - Ink People Center for the Arts
• Dena McCullough - Business Representative - McCullough Construction
• Pru Ratliff - Education Representative - College of the Redwoods
The above members terms expire on June 20, 2019, and all were recommended for reappointment at the May 9, 2019 HCWDB Executive Committee meeting. The proposed reappointments are in accordance with the HCWDB bylaws.
