The regional advisory board in each region initiates the
formation of the coordinating service provider by convening a meeting of all
workforce development service providers and other interested parties. Each
regional advisory board conducts a regional needs assessment and analysis plan,
which the coordinating service provider shall utilize in designing its annual
service delivery plan. The regional advisory board approves the 28E agreement
that creates the coordinating service provider and the regional customer
service plan before they are submitted to the state workforce development board
for final approval. The regional advisory board also provides oversight and
guidance to the coordinating service provider on service delivery and the
performance of the regional system.
