The Human Services Department requests adoption of a Gold Resolution to recognize Roy Hurd for over 22 years of service supporting Sonoma County Adult and Youth Workforce Programs.
Discussion:
Roy Hurd began serving on the Sonoma County Workforce Investment Board (WIB) and the WIB Executive Committee in 2000. The WIB is a group of key stakeholders appointed by the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors to address workforce challenges throughout Sonoma County. The WIB members are leaders in the community who represent business, industry, labor, education, and economic development. Their vision is to create a robust local workforce with the skills needed for today and tomorrow. The mission of the WIB is to lead an integrated workforce development system to ensure the County’s economic vitality and quality of life.
As a result of the WIB’s leadership:
• Vital partnerships are strengthened between business, economic development, education, labor, and community
• Employers are valued as the pivotal link in our workforce development system
Roy was also a member of the Sonoma County Youth Education & Employment Services Council (Youth Council) from 2005-2015. The mission of the Youth Council was to develop a comprehensive system of services for all Sonoma County youth that integrates academics, career preparation, and youth development strategies through collaboration with young people, employers, educators, service providers, and the community. The vision was for all Sonoma County youth to have the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in a competitive global workforce.
The Youth Council’s accomplishments include:
• Securing regionally-based youth provider service contracts
• Convening six Youth Symposiums
• Holding six Youth Summer Job Fairs
• Receiving the Architect of Change Award for implementation of the All Youth: One System Program
