Funding for WIOA is allocated to the Commonwealth of Kentucky through the Department of Labor at which point the Governor allocates a portion of funds to each workforce area. Workforce areas are established through an interlocal agreement between the highest-ranking elected officials in that county, as they are responsible for the WIOA funds. The interlocal agreement requires the identification of six local judge executives and the mayor of Lexington-Fayette County to form an executive committee of the governing board of local elected officials to oversee the requirements determined by the law. This Committee has two equally seated Chairs.
Members: 17
Executive Committee Members: 7
Co-Chairs: Mayor Linda Gorton, Lexington-Fayette & Judge Executive Mike Williams, Bourbon County
Meetings: 4 per year
The Executive Committee of the Governing Board of Local Elected Officials for Workforce is facilitated by the Department for Workforce Services
