Executive Summary:
Adoption of a gold resolution recognizing and expressing gratitude to outgoing Workforce Investment Board member Scott Kincaid for more than 20 years of service supporting Sonoma County adult and youth workforce programs.
Discussion:
Scott Kincaid has demonstrated a long-standing commitment to strengthening Sonoma County’s workforce and youth development systems. Beginning in 2005, he served on both the Sonoma County Workforce Investment Board (WIB) and the WIB Executive Committee, helping to advance the Board’s mission of building a robust, skilled workforce to support the county’s long-term economic vitality. Mr. Kincaid served as the WIB Chair for two consecutive terms. Over the years, he has taken on leadership roles across multiple workforce initiatives, including serving as Chair of the Sonoma County Youth Council, where he played an essential role in guiding collaborative efforts among educators, employers, service providers, and community leaders. Mr. Kincaid’s leadership contributed to the success of numerous youth-focused programs and events, including the annual Youth Symposium, Youth Summer Job Fairs, and countywide career-readiness initiatives. His work on the Proposal Review Committee showcased his fairness, sound judgment, and ability to make difficult decisions in the best interest of the community.
Among Mr. Kincaid’s many accomplishments, he successfully raised more than $25,000 to support Youth Symposium activities and an additional $3,000 to fund public outreach for Youth Education & Employment Services. His efforts also supported recognition programs such as the Sonoma County Youth Ecology Corps, a program that earned multiple regional and national awards for innovation and impact. Mr. Kincaid’s commitment to Sonoma County youth is reflected in his ability to both initiate new projects and follow through with energy, creativity, and collaboration.
Beyond Mr. Kincaid’s contributions to youth programs, his service on the Sonoma County Innovation Council and his advisory role with the Sonoma County Office of Education show his dedication to the county’s long-term sustainability and economic health. His work on the Innovation Council supports forward-looking public policy that addresses changing demographics, global competitiveness, and resource challenges. Through Mr. Kincaid’s involvement with both the WIB and Innovation Council, he has helped shape programs aimed at cultivating a world-class workforce and strengthening Sonoma County’s business environment well into the future.
In addition to his public service, Mr. Kincaid brings significant professional expertise to his community roles. Since joining Facility Development Company (FDC) in 2012-and becoming an owner in 2017-he has overseen day-to-day operations and managed major commercial construction projects. His previous fourteen years in banking as a Senior Vice President and Senior Loan Officer deepened his knowledge of commercial lending, real estate, and construction financing. Mr. Kincaid’s combined business and civic leadership have had wide-ranging impact on Sonoma County, reflecting his willingness to take on complex projects, his commitment to meaningful outcomes, and his positive, collaborative presence within every organization he serves.
