The Central Western Maine Workforce Development Board is driven by a business-led council comprised of community leaders with expertise in the public, private and philanthropic sectors. With a wealth of expertise, our Board of Directors works side-by-side with the Chief Local Elected Officials to address workforce deficiencies, to upskill workers, to develop potential employees and to ensure the workforce development system offers the highest quality services through its strategic partners.
The board meets on a quarterly basis, and its individual committees meet as needed. Meetings are open to the public, and details concerning those meetings can be found on our upcoming meetings page.
