Rob Roux presented on the Initial Designation Policy. • The current Local Workforce Investment Areas (LWIA) must submit a request to the Louisiana Workforce Commission (LWC) to be initially designated. They must have successfully satisfied their goals and sustained their fiscal integrity. • The initial designation begins July 1, 2015, and continues for two years. | Equal Opportunity Employer/Program | Auxiliary aids and services are available upon request to individuals with disabilities • TDD# 800-259-5154 | • Local areas must be consistent with the labor market areas in state, consistent with regional and economic development areas of the state, and be eligible to receive federal and non-federal resources. • If they do not meet these criteria and are denied, a local area may appeal to the WIC for designation. If the WIC also denies them, then they may appeal to the U.S. Department of Labor. • The deadline for submission was June 23, 2015. c. Local Workforce Development Board Composition • The state is required to provide guidance on the development of local boards. • The composition of local boards under WIOA will be similar to WIA but smaller.

The chief elected official may add additional members, but must maintain the ratios of business and organized labor representation. • The local boards are expected to be in place by September 30, 2015. • All policies will be posted for public comment and brought to the WIC for feedback. d.
