Under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) 1998, the federal government established the WorkSource Atlanta Board, and then reauthorized it under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) in 2014.
The Board comprises individuals representing business, economic development, housing and urban development, senior community service, vocational rehabilitation, organized labor, and community-based organizations. Per federal law, the Mayor of Atlanta appoints members of the Board, who serve for two-year terms.
