Current Narrative:
All newly appointed members will be given an orientation that includes the responsibilities of the board, an overview of all of the programs the board oversees, and the strategies that the state is implementing to achieve determined goals. In July of 2016, there were a number of new members that had been appointed so the majority of the meeting was dedicated to an orientation to WIOA and the direction of the State. At the end of this meeting, the board also passed two resolutions that instituted several taskforces. These taskforces have clearly defined objectives to achieve within a specific timeline which are outlined within the resolutions. Taskforces are reviewed every January to ensure alignment with goals and objectives of the SWIC. The board has regular meetings every other month, and consistent communication among members and State staff through face-to-face meetings, emails, and phone calls. Every other SWIC board meeting is held jointly along with the Indiana Career Council to ensure open communication and alignment of strategies for their shared goals.
