By-Laws
The Maryland
General Assembly has mandated that the Board adopt the
responsibility of reviewing the entire workforce development
system to "identify inefficiencies within the State’s
own workforce development delivery system" for the
purpose of improving the system and reducing cost. The Board
took a unified, positive approach by working with
Maryland’s Sub-cabinet, composed of senior executives from
each of the partner agencies, to identify opportunities for
improvement. The GWIB submitted its final report on June 30,
2004.
