Membership
The local workforce board’s membership emphasizes the dual customers of the one-stop (IowaWORKS) system: business and individual job seekers. Representatives of business must comprise the majority of the board at 51% and at least 20% of the members must be workforce representatives. County supervisors may increase these percentages, based on the needs of the local area, however, compliance with the business and workforce membership percentages must be maintained. Additionally, all required members must have voting privileges. A board having only the minimum required seats will have 19 members.
