I look forward to seeing everyone at our next full Council meeting on:

Friday, January 18th
9:00 am to 12:00 noon
Veterans Service Building
20 W. 12th Street, St. Paul

We have been busy!  We have a number of items, which require discussion and action by the council.  In particular, we will review WIA performance information and the WorkForce Center Strategic Plan.  We will also cover many aspects of Committee work, agency transition, and issues relevant to the upcoming Legislative session.  To ensure that our discussion is productive, I urge you to review the enclosed materials carefully in advance of the meeting.
