BACKGROUND:

The Board of Directors for Workforce Escarosa, Inc. serves as the local governing board for workforce development and job training activities as approved by Workforce Florida, Inc. and the Agency for Workforce Innovation (AWI). Federal and state legislation that govern the board activities require specific membership from various community sectors where the governing boards are located. This board serves the demographic area of Region One, comprised of Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.

The Regional Workforce Board Accountability Act (RWBAA) has amended the Florida Workforce Innovation Act, which was established in 2000 to implement the mandates of the federal Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998. One of the specifics added was the requirement that the budget of the Regional Workforce Board (RWB), which for our region is Workforce Escarosa, be approved by its representing counties prior to submittal to Workforce Florida.
