MEETING MINUTES

September 21, 2016

A meeting of the NR/MR WIA Consortium Board was held on September 21, 2016 at the Wytheville Meeting Center. Those in attendance were as follows:

Board Members Guests John Garner – Chair Eric Workman – Bland Rex Hill – Carroll Terri Morris – Floyd Jay Williams – Giles Kenneth Belton – Grayson Mary Biggs – Montgomery Robert Gropman – Radford City

Lynn White, WDB Chair Darrell Blankenship – People Inc. MaryAnn Gilmer – Goodwill Ind. of the Valleys Jenny Bolte – Goodwill Ind. of the Valleys

Staff Marty Holliday Ronnie Martin Beverly Burke

At 10:01 AM, Chair Garner called the meeting to order. The meeting was opened with a moment of reflection. Chair Garner led all present in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Chair Garner asked Ms. Burke to call the roll. A quorum was present.

Dr. Workman made a motion to approve the previously distributed Consent Agenda. The motion was seconded by Ms. Biggs and approved with a majority vote, with Mr. Gropman abstaining.

Chair Garner opened the floor to public comment. Ms. Gilmer of Goodwill Industries of the Valleys spoke on behalf of People Inc and Goodwill Industries of the Valleys. Ms. Gilmer stated that the Program Operators are being pro-active this year by bringing before the Board a mutual idea for using non-designated PY’16 Adult funds. They are proposing a T2C Program (Training 2 Careers in Medical field). The T2C is a pilot program to build a pipeline in the medical field in the NR/MR area. They will be using the Board’s Self Sufficiency Policy to “up-skill” currently employed workers (people who are underemployed or employed in low wage jobs will be targeted). A brief discussion followed. Ms. Holliday asked if the Board was interested enough to get more information from the Program Operators at a later time. Mr. Williams made a motion to have the Program Operators present a formal proposal to be brought before the Board with a second from Ms. Biggs. Mr. Workman asked that a project be submitted that is “scalable”. No action needs to be taken at this time.

Mr. Martin presented the Final PY’16 Budget showing the updated undesignated funds due to an increase in final carryover. He stated the Workforce Development Board had approved the Final PY’16 Budget during their August 2016 meeting. Dr. Workman made a motion to approve the Final PY’16 Budget with a second from Ms. Biggs. The motion was passed unanimously.

Chair Garner highlighted the Consortium Board Contact List and Committee Assignments that were included in the packet. Mr. Martin requested all Board members to review the information and forward any corrections to his attention. Ms. Holliday stated that she would be contacting the jurisdictions who had vacancies on the Workforce Development Board. Mr. White, WDB Chair, stated that he recently attended the Directors/Chair meeting in Charlottesville with Ms. Holliday. Mr. White stated he came back with a lot of useful information from other areas. He commended both Boards for the great communication they have and was proud that he was from Area II. Mr. Martin gave the Operational Summary Report. He stated the Program Operators were only two months into the program year and overall the numbers were on target.   Ms. Holliday reviewed the Executive Summary highlighting being an Exhibitor at the SWVA Manufacturing expo and placing two half page ads in the Virginia Tech Football Program. She stated she is looking for other ways to conduct outreach to highlight WIOA programs. A brief discussion followed. Continuing with the agenda, Chair Garner proceeded with the Informational Items. Mr. Blankenship, updated the Board on the One Stop Operator report, Rapid Response and POWER activities, and shared additional closings that affect Area II. Ms. Gilmer highlighted the Success Story. Ms. Holliday updated the Board on current Grants. Chair Garner opened the floor for Consortium Board Members comments. Mr. Williams thanked Goodwill Industries of the Valleys for their help in the Summer Work Experience Program in Giles County. Ms. Holliday requested a report to be given from Giles County and Goodwill Industries of the Valley concerning their Work Experience Program for the other jurisdictions. Ms. Holliday felt that this program was a best practice that needs to be shared. Chair Garner discussed the Travel Voucher that each Board member must complete and sign if they want to be reimbursed for their travel. The 2016 Consortium Board meeting schedule was also highlighted. The next meeting will be a Combined Meeting with the Workforce Development Board on December 7, 2016 at the Wytheville Meeting Center in Wytheville beginning at 10:00 AM.

Ian Arnold was laid off from Volvo in February. He had not been to work at Volvo very long, and was really looking forward to the promise of great benefits and good wages- Especially for this area. Unfortunately, being caught up in this layoff alerted him to the fact that the truck market is very cyclical. Even if he were to be called back before running out of unemployment benefits, he was afraid that it may only be temporary. Ian was now hearing the stories of others that had been employed at Volvo and had to endure layoff after layoff. He wanted to find something different…. something more stable that would offer him benefits and a good wage. Driving a truck was something he found appealing. However, $4000 to pay for training is a high price tag for someone that has just been laid off and drawing unemployment. Thanks to the DLW program, within just a few weeks he was able to attend training at Alliance, and had secured employment in a high-demand occupation that pays well and offers benefits.

Otto Justus (JR) was laid off from Bates Contracting, which does contracting work for coal mines, in July 2015. He came to the Dislocated Worker Program as a referral from the VEC. JR attended the Aviation Maintenance Program at Northeast State Community College. He graduated in May 2016 with a 4.0 GPA. He has since moved to Johnson City, TN and is the new Director of Maintenance at Signature Healthcare, an assisted living facility in Greenville, TN. He makes an excellent salary with benefits.
