| Request for an advisory opinion regarding the future ethics requirements of Donna Washington, representative of Region 3, LAT Workforce Investment Board. |
|
|
Ms. Washington was to represent the Terrebonne Economic Development Association (TEDA) as a member of the LAT Workforce Investment Board. After her appointment to the Workforce Investment Board, her position as Vice-President of Operations for TEDA was terminated. TEDA has since been placed under the Terrebonne Parish Government operations for the next two years. Ms. Washington has not engaged in any board activities because the LAT Workforce Investment Board has not met or conducted any board business.
