Governance and Management
The Northeast Workforce Alliance is governed by an Executive Committee composed of eight
members who represent the four member entities. The Workforce
Development Boards and the Northeast Commission each appoint two
voting representatives, plus one proxy representative who votes only
when serving in the capacity of an absent voting representative.
Workforce Development Board Directors serve as staff and do not
vote. Officers will be elected at the first meeting of 2009, at
which time the Alliance will be deemed to have been formalized and
the development phase of the collaboration complete.
The Alliance has two officers. A
Chairman conducts meetings, and a Vice-Chairman is charged with the
conduct of meetings in the absence of the Chairman. Meetings are
conducted in accordance with Robert’s Rules of Order, and meeting
minutes are recorded by staff on a rotating basis.
The date, time and place for the
first meeting of 2009 will be scheduled by staff in such manner as
to ensure inclusion of representatives from each member entity.
Subsequent regular meetings will be quarterly, and the meeting date
for the next quarter will be selected by member representatives and
staff based on mutual acceptability. Any cost associated with
meetings is borne by member entities on a rotating basis, but every
effort is made to secure meeting space at no cost.
