Current Narrative:

The Governor appoints the members of the State Workforce Innovation Council, (SWIC), and designates one of the business representatives to serve as the Chairperson. The SWIC gives the Chairperson authority through the bylaws to create or dissolve committees and taskforces in order to accomplish the state board functions of the Council as required under section 101(d) of WIOA. Committees are generally longstanding groups that conduct regularly occurring business for the Council and are long-term by design. Taskforces, however, are short-term and goal-oriented bodies that are appointed to achieve articulated outcomes by a specified date and have highly engaged membership to accomplish those outcomes. Both committees and taskforces are approved by the Council through resolutions that detail the objectives and timeframes, (if appropriate), of the group. They both comprise members of the Council in addition to identified stakeholders throughout the state and are all staffed by DWD representatives. The general Council meetings are scheduled to occur every other month to ensure that communication is consistent and decisions are made in a timely manner. Significant decisions are made with the approval of the majority of a Council quorum. Status updates on any current initiatives are given, as appropriate, to the full Council during these regular meetings and if action is required based on these updates, the Council is able to act accordingly. All meetings of the Council abide by the Open Door Law, and a time for public comment is provided as needed.
