Dear Mr. Leary:
In response to your letter of July 12, on August 10 the Board of
Directors of the Dubuque Area Labor-Management Council
acted unanimously to nominate Michael Portzen, owner and
president of Portzen Construction Company, to serve on the
Region 1 Workforce Investment Board.
Mr. Portzen serves on the Board of Directors of the Labor-
Management Council and is an active member of the Council's
Alliance for Construction Excellence (ACE). As you are aware,
we have closely followed the creation of the Workforce
Investment Act and the development of the new Regional
Workforce Investment Boards. We are confident that Mr.
Portzen will bring the knowledge and commitment necessary to
make a substantial contribution to the work of the Board and
move forward the workforce development agenda of the State
and Northeast Iowa.
Mr. Portzen will carry with him the commitment and involvement
of the Dubuque Area Labor-Management Council, as well as
h:s 9xperiencG interacting and working effectively with
representatives of organized labor in the building and
construction trades. As part of his background, Mike has
extensive experience directing a regional carpenters'
apprenticeship program. We think his contribution of this
knowledge will serve the citizens of Iowa well throughout the
Region I area.
In a meeting with our Executive Committee and Governor Tom
Vilsack in October of 1999, IWD Director Richard Running
asked the Labor-Management Council to become more closely
involved with the Regional Board. At our Board of Directors
meeting on May 11, the Council confirmed, as two of its goals,
to "benchmark and attain a more skilled workforce" and to
"retain a greater percentage of our school graduates in the area
workforce than any county in Iowa." Working together with
organizational representatives, we have issued a request to
.
Dubuque area schools of higher education for proposals discussing how we can
institutionalize the partnerships and relationships necessary to help achieve these goals.
Responses to that RFP are due by November 1. We want to share the results of this
process with the Regional Workforce Investment Board when it is complete.
Thank you for your time and attention to this correspondence. Please contact me at 582-
8804 if there are any questions about this nomination.
