BOARD GOVERNANCE
Napa, Marin, Mendocino and Lake counties have pooled their job-growth efforts to form the Workforce Alliance of the North Bay.
BOARD MEMBERS & COMMITTEES
WORKFORCE ALLIANCE OF THE NORTH BAY: HISTORY
The Napa-Lake Workforce Investment Board (WIB) was formed in 2011. In 2017, the WIB combined with the Employment and Training Branch of Social Services in the county of Marin’s Department of Health & Human Services. Later that year the County of Mendocino joined the Alliance. The counties decided to merge for various reasons including common industries, labor pool and workforce and a desire to consolidate both the administrative and the planning functions from the three counties into a single governance structure.
Pursuant to a Joint Powers Agreement, the Counties, through their respective Board of Supervisors, agreed to the establishment of the Workforce Alliance of the North Bay (WANB), consisting of representatives from each geographical area. The Joint Powers Agreement specifies the roles and responsibilities for each party. The Board of Supervisors appoints members to the Alliance for two-year terms. The majority of members are from the business sector in each county. Economic development, education, labor, government and community-based organizations are also represented.
The role of the Advisory Committees is to oversee the Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act funds that support the programs and services provided through a partnership of public agencies whose customers are businesses requiring support around workforce issues and job seekers requiring job search services and/or education and training.
The County Advisory Committees make recommendations to the Regional Workforce Development Board. The Regional Board approves and sends the recommendations to the Governing Board for final approval.
Workforce Alliance of the North Bay is grateful to the following individuals who have volunteered their time and talents to serve on our Boards and Advisory Subcommittees. If you are interested in joining one of our boards, please complete the Membership Application.
