Board members serve for a tenure of two years.
The City submitted an application to serve San Jose residents in addition to residents of the Cities of Campbell, Cupertino, Gilroy, Los Gatos, Los Altos Hills, Monte Sereno, and Morgan Hill, as well as all unincorporated areas of Santa Clara County. These are agencies that provide employment and training services. In some categories, several local organizations provide these services. In addition, the board must include two representatives each from economic development, community-based groups, labor councils, and local education. For business members, these individuals should have hiring or fiscal authority.
