In accordance with the federal legislation, a majority of the <br />Board members and the Board Chair must come from the private sector. The <br />remaining Board members represent education, non-profit organizations, <br />one-stop mandated partners and local labor organizations. <br />There is currently one public sector vacancy on the Board due to the <br />recent resignation of Nancy Quarles of Goodwill Industries of Orange <br />County. Since Goodwill is involved with the training and placement of <br />adults with disabilities and is known nationwide, the Santa Ana Workforce <br />Investment Board (WIB) is pleased that Mr. Asif Syed, also of Goodwill <br />Industries has volunteered to replace Ms. Quarles as a WIB Board member. <br />Mr. Syed's resume and membership profile are attached (Exhibit 1). <br />13C-1
