BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The First Coast Workforce Development board of directors provides critical guidance, feedback and direction as we deliver the full range of CareerSource NEFL services.

The board of directors is made up of community and civic leaders in the areas of education, business and government. Board members are nominated by local chambers of commerce, county commissioners, city councils and mayors. The board is mandated legislatively to have local college presidents, school superintendents, labor leaders and representatives from state agency partners.

Board of Directors financial disclosure is submitted to the County Supervisor of Elections on an annual basis.  A records search is available at the Florida Commission of Ethics Website
