GWDB Overview

The Governor’s Workforce Development Board (GWDB) serves as the primary convener for industry, labor, and government leaders dedicated to innovating workforce development for the State of Nevada through examining the statewide workforce development system, creating the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) State Plan, and recommending workforce development policy improvements to the Governor’s Office, Office of Workforce Innovation (OWINN), Nevada Legislature, and all relevant workforce stakeholders. The GWDB is codified by NRS 232.935 and administered by OWINN. The GWDB is led by Chair Hugh Anderson and Vice Chair Ken Evans. The GWDB’s 33 members are Governor appointed and a majority represent businesses from various industry sectors, along with state and local elected officials, organized labor representatives, and administrators of the State’s WIOA core programs.
