Napa County Workforce Investment Board members are appointed by the County Board of Supervisors in accordance with criteria established in the Workforce Investment Act.

Workforce Boards must have a majority of business leaders. The legislation also mandates that key decision makers from education, economic development, community based organizations, labor unions, training and human service agencies be represented on the Workforce Board. Nonprofit organizations, community leaders, and other stakeholders may also be appointed to serve.

In all cases, membership is drawn from individuals with optimum policy-making authority from their organization and who hold executive positions. Workforce Boards look for board members with specialized knowledge and insight into one or more of our key areas of focus, and with skills and experience in long-range planning, group problem solving, capital investment strategies, and organization / business development backgrounds.  Current board members include:
