| Advisory opinion request regarding whether Anthony Lewis may serve as an attorney for the Workforce Development Board (Development Board) under the Workforce Innovation Act (WIOA) when he previously served on the Workforce Investment Board (Investment Board) under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). |
|
Anthony Lewis was a member of the Investment Board. If permitted, he would work on an as-needed or contractual basis with the Development Board.
Members of the Investment Board were selected by the parish president and appointed through the Chambers of Commerce and Trade Organizations. The Investment Board ceased to exist on July 1, 2015. The Development Board commenced on November 19, 2015. Members were selected in the same manner as the Investment Board. The functions of the boards were similar as they both serve eligible dislocated workers, youth, and adult participants, but the Development Board is geared more to increasing employment and becoming self-sufficient.
