In accordance with the federal <br /> legislation, a majority of the Board members and the Board Chair must come from the private <br /> sector. The remaining Board members represent education, non-profit organizations, one-stop <br /> mandated partners and local labor organizations. <br /> After an extensive recruitment campaign and interview process, the Workforce Investment Board <br /> recommends the appointment of Messrs. Piwnica (replacing Ward) and Elliott (replacing Metzler) <br /> as private sector members and Mr. de la Riva (replacing Van Artsdalen) as WIA representative. <br /> Their resumes are attached as Exhibit 1. One more mandated private sector position on the Board <br /> would remain available, should the two appointments above be approved. <br /> 13A-1 <br />
