LWDAs are encouraged to begin working with partners to write sections responding to the information requested in these citations. LWDAs are also encouraged to read the Governor’s Vision section of the Proposed Georgia Unified State Plan. This section outlines the governor’s goals and vision for the workforce system. In order to assist with local and regional planning, WFD has collected the points of contact for core partner programs. Those contacts are attached below.
6. Action Requested. LWDBs are asked to begin discussions with partners and to begin
drafting Local and Regional Plans.
