Missoula Workforce Council Sept 8 meeting

Missoula Workforce Council-September 8th, 2008

Update from Wolf on membership.
Members are happy with the regular CMT meetings to share information and network. Members willing to have decision makers at the table, but haven’t seen a need to have them there yet.
Suggestions for future of CMT and the Missoula Workforce Council:
Drop Workforce from the title, make it Missoula Community Management Advisory or Leadership Council, quarterly meetings with decision makers to get a bigger more global perspective. October 2, January 8, April 2, August 6, first Thursdays of every quarter 10 to noon.
Community Management Team, would be a sharing networking from other organizations. Program Specific, designed for line staff about eligibility requirements, openings etc. 10 am to noon with food. Mondays are not good for staff, Thursdays better. Wolf will try to get the Mayor as a guest speaker for the first meeting and then will do a survey of best times. Human Resources Appreciation-building relationships between staff. November , February, May, August.
At the September 22nd CMT meeting we will ask for ideas and see what people think about the proposed new organization and do a round table.
WorkKeys and workforce accreditation, The Chamber of Commerce Business Affairs Committee is working on it right now so we can assist but let them take the lead.

Future Meetings:
CMT -September 22 at 1:30 at the Missoula Job Service
Leadership team-October 2 at 10 am-noon at the Missoula Job Service
