Governance

Meet the human capital strategists

The Council is governed by a 17 member executive committee comprised of nine representatives from the private business community, seven local elected officials (one from each jurisdiction) and the president of Thomas Nelson Community College. The Council is supported by our partner agencies that contribute funding and expertise to our overall mission. In addition, the Council serves as staff to the Greater Peninsula Workforce Investment Board. The Council's leadership wishes to recognize and thank the members for their participation and assistance.
