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 />Currently, there is one private sector Economic Development <br />Representative on the Board. However, SB293, effective in January 2007, <br />requires local boards to have more than one Board member appointed to the <br />economic development category. As a representative of the Southern <br />California Reinvestment Community Development Financial Institution, Ms. <br />Sanchez fulfills the requirements for this membership category. <br />13B-1
