Welcome and NAWB Synopsis
Wendy Boyer and Erin Porterfield attended the National Association of Workforce Boards (NAWB)
conference that was held at the end of March. It was a good experience with good exposure to what is done in
other areas mixed with good discussion. The vision of the meeting was “Best Practices” with a focus on
“business first”. Wendy attended the Fundraising/Fund Development session and feels very enthusiastic about
the things she learned. There are three categories (buckets) in telling your story, and she would like to change
the board agendas to focus on telling the story of Heartland Workforce Solutions (HWS) based on three
categories. The first bucket is the role that HWS plays leading, convening, and aligning to build an effective
workforce system. Need to develop synergies with partners to help develop the workforce and tell our story
better. The second bucket’s role is ensuring businesses and industry has the talent needed to grow and expand.
What are the jobs that are available and in high demand? What kind of workforce program is in place? The
third bucket’s role is helping individuals remove barriers and help develop skills to gain meaningful
employment. How does HWS do this? Staff will also continue to report out on operations such as finances,
WIA reporting requirements, etc., but it will not be our main focus of meetings. Feedback after Thursday’s
meeting was requested.
Erin Porterfield added that we want to work toward clear messaging, relating to people, and figure out
how to bring more businesses, schools, and people to the American Job Center.
HWS Operations
Finance – Rod Anderson reported that the Finance Committee met in his office on April 18, 2014, and
most of the session was spent going over the PY14 budget. Michael Phillips reported that we still do not have
the final numbers from the State (he feels comfortable with his projections) and the numbers he is using are for
planning purposes only. Michael went over the HWS PY14 Projected Budget summary which currently shows
an increase in revenue due to increase in WIA allotments, new partners at the center, foundation donations, and
new grants. It also shows an increase in expenditures due to new Executive Director, health insurance, NEworks
maintenance costs, equipment purchases, the American Job Center utilities, IT, and cleaning services. We have
a fundraising goal of $156,857 to cover the shortfall. It is important to know by November 2014 if this gap is
filled. Rod Anderson explained the time issues of sending the budget to the counties for comment and then to
City for approval and getting it back to the Full Board. The recommendation from the Finance Committee is to
ask the Full Board on April 24th to approve the draft budget as is, and also ask for authorization for the
Executive Committee to approve the final budget with input from the Finance Committee. Erin Porterfield gave
an update on the Special Procurement review currently in process. There will be a meeting at the Mayor’s office
on May 5th with members from the State. All items have been resolved except for the one regarding the leasing
of the Ames Plaza facility. Erin reported that the State has been very helpful. Michael Phillips reported that the
Property Management review was completed with no findings. Erin Porterfield asked for a couple of volunteers
to help look at some Healthcare questions that have come up due to staff sizing and procurement issues. Jim
Hanson, Jr., Deb Dinsmoor, and Rod Anderson volunteered.
Performance Committee- Shirley Carlson stated that the Performance Dashboard was included in
today’s packet, and asked if there were any questions. Erin Porterfield reported that she, Angela Jones, and
Shirley Carlson, met with Kerri Petersen from the Sherwood Foundation to discuss funding ideas for the data
system. Sherwood does offer a program grant. Erin stated that she is seeking a meeting with Bob Braun, Lozier,
John Scott, and Kerri Petersen in May to update them on HWS progress in relation to continued funding.
Fund Development- Erin reported that the Fund Development group met on April 21st. They are
planning to have a half day strategy planning meeting. More individuals with fund development experience are
needed. Omaha Gives! is Wednesday, May 21st, from midnight to midnight. We will ask the board to
participate by sending out the Omaha Gives! invitation to ten friends, and we will also send out a twenty-four
4
hour time period sign-up sheet so that we will be assured a chance to win extra prize-money! Jim Hanson, Jr.
noted that Board member giving is still in the red. Donations given through Omaha Gives! do not count
towards the Board members annual giving.
Nomination Committee- Wendy Boyer said our current members have done a great job recommending
potential candidates! They have also met with Randy Thelen, Senior Vice President of Economic
Development for the Omaha Chamber and Brian Turner, Vice President/ General Manager for Distefano
Technology & Manufacturing who will be great members as well.
WIA State Monitor Reviews- Shirley Carlson reported that the Youth Program review materials have
been turned in and we are waiting for the on-site review.
Strategic Planning
Local Plan and HWS Strategic Plan Update- Erin Porterfield reported that the Local Plan has been
uploaded to the NDOL website and we are waiting for their input. Erin announced that the Board Strategic
Planning session will be re-scheduled for late August 2014.
Discussion on Board meeting structure – Wendy Boyer would like to have the Executive Committee
handle as much of the HWS Operations side of things as they can in order to free up more time for discussion
and strategy planning at the full board meetings. Questions arose about what items have to go before the full
board and when a roll call vote has to be taken. The following seems to apply:
1. Section 3.2 Enumerated Powers (of the Board): “To elect an Executive Committee and to delegate the
Executive Committee any of the powers and authority of the WIB in the management of the business
affairs of the Corporation, except the following powers: the filling of the vacancies of the WIB, the
amendment or repeal of these bylaws unless mandated by law or state monitor, the amendment or repeal
of any resolution of the WIB which by its express terms is not so amendable or repealable, the approval
of any self-dealing transaction, except where permitted by law, or the approval of any actions from
which the applicable Nebraska State laws;” and “Final decisions which the WIB is legally required to
make under the WIB-LEO (Local Elected Officials) Agreement or WIA include but are not limited
to: approval of the annual plan, approval and recommendation of the budget to the Chief Elected
Official, amendment of the WIB-LEO Agreement, amendment of the WIB Bylaws, election of officers
and executive committee directors, actions involving merger or dissolution of the corporation or disposal
of WIB assets, or any action which determines final WIB policy on the administration of the WIA
Program.” Article III., March 2013 revised By-laws
2. “Rules of Order: All proceedings of the WIB and its committees shall be governed by parliamentary
procedure using the current edition of Roberts Rules of Order and the Open Meetings Act in the State of
Nebraska.” And “At all meetings, except for the election of officers and directors, all votes shall be by
voiced roll call. For election of officers, ballots shall be provided …” Article IV and Article VI., March
2013 revised By-laws
Closed Session began 8:50am.
The meeting adjourned at 9:05am.

Special Procurement – Erin Porterfield provided an update on this review. The State has reviewed the
information we have submitted, and have requested a meeting. This meeting will be on May 5, 2014 at the
Mayor’s office. Cathy Lang has been very supportive to problem solve together.
Fund Development Committee – Wendy Boyer reported that she and the group, (Erin Porterfield, Anita
Peterson, and Liz Cook) met early this week. Additional members outside the board with experience in fund
development are being invited. The fundraising goal is $157,000 for the PY14 budget.
Wendy explained that Omaha Gives is an Omaha Community Foundation fundraiser with local non-profits
that will occur on May 21, 2014. HWS will participate again this year. One of the ideas that came from the
Fund Development meeting was an email to send out to board members asking to invite ten of friends. Today
we are also sending an hourly schedule for board members to commit to giving during an hour of the 24 hour
fundraiser. Nonprofits can win bonus dollars every hour and the nonprofits who have the most unique donors
during this event will win $10,000.
Nomination Committee – We are still looking for a few more members to replace the members who will be
rolling off June 30, 2014. We will honor outgoing board members in June.

NAWB Synopsis
Wendy attended the Fundraising/Fund Development session at this year’s NAWB Forum and is enthusiastic
about the model she learned. There are three categories (buckets) in telling our HWS story, and she would like
to focus the board agendas on telling the story of Heartland Workforce Solutions (HWS) based on three
categories. 1) Leading, convening, and aligning to build an effective workforce system. We will develop
synergies with partners to help develop the workforce and tell our story better; 2) Ensuring businesses and
industry have the talent needed to grow and expand. What are the jobs that are available and in high demand?
What kind of workforce program is in place?; 3) Helping individuals remove barriers and develop skills to gain
meaningful employment. Wendy asked the question “How can we come together to get people working?” Not
only will we tell success stories about these roles, we will have board members identify actions within these
roles.
Leading, convening and aligning to build an effective workforce system
Erin Porterfield introduced Janee Pannkuk, Executive Director of Impact One Community Connection.
Janee started her conversation by telling the Board that great things happen in the American Job Center. Impact
One works with at- risk youth and young adults, and have worked hard to build a relationship of trust with their
participants. In January 2014 there was a change in the system for obtaining a GED. Janee told about a
participant Impact One was working with at risk of being homeless, and had no education. Janee was able to
refer her client to the programs offered at the center, and that participant is currently engaged in getting their
GED. Janee suggested another one her participants attend the Orientation workshop, and through that was
enrolled in CDL Training. This participant is doing very well, and will graduate this month.
Ensuring business and industry have the talent needed to grow and expand
Justin Dougherty, Director of Workforce Services for Goodwill said he has the opportunity to help
businesses. Direct Call, a patient transfer facilitator in Omaha had been having difficulties finding employees
who could meet the needs of their business. Justin worked with MCC who developed a program to teach the
required skill set. The participants who complete this course will earn a certificate and Direct Call will interview
them for positions.
Helping individuals remove barriers and develop skills to gain meaningful employment
Erin Porterfield introduced David Pollock, Offender Employment Specialist for Heartland Workforce
Solutions. Individuals eligible for his program are released from Douglas County or are within six months of
release or are currently on parole. In addition, they must have one of the following conditions: mental or
substance abuse treatment, at risk of becoming homeless, or homeless, and between the ages of 18 and 24.
David told the story of how one of his participants, of mother of three lost her job due to a policy change at
work. She was at risk of having her probation revoked, and subsequently becoming homeless. David was able to
help her with updating her resume, coaching her through mock interviews, and helping her with her
communication skills. With a new found confidence she found full-time employment, and her probation was not
revoked.
Performance Committee- Erin Porterfield reported that she, Angela Jones, and Shirley Carlson, met with
Kerri Petersen from the Sherwood Foundation to discuss funding ideas for the data system. Erin stated that she
is convening a meeting with Bob Braun, Lozier, John Scott, and Kerri Petersen, Sherwood in May to update
8
them on HWS progress in relation to continued funding and see if they may be interested in helping to fund the
data system. The Performance Planning Subcommittee is hoping for a December execution date.
Economic Strategy- Wendy Boyer announced that Randy Thelen, SVP of Economic Development, for the Omaha
Chamber has agreed to join the board. Randy’s focus will be on developing and implementing Chamber initiatives to
attract and support the growth of new business in Greater Omaha. Wendy helps build the talent to support new growth,
and she feels there are great opportunities for Omaha Public Schools and Heartland Workforce Solutions to play a critical
role.
Board members discussed ideas in response to the question “What could your business bring to the American Job
Center?” The ideas were collected. HWS will contact board members who volunteered ideas on behalf of their own
business.
Adjournment: Wendy Boyer adjourned the meeting at 9:06am.

*Program Year (PY) runs from July 1 through June 30 of each year.
Performance Measures Definitions:
• Entered employment (Adult & DLWs)—Those counted in this measure include anyone who was not employed at the time they were assigned a participation date
and who have not received some type of exclusion from participation such as being institutionalized, deceased, medical/health, etc. A success is someone from this
group who is employed in the first quarter after they have exited (completed) the program.
• Average Earnings (Adult & DLWs)—The actual dollar amount of wages earned by an individual during the second and third quarter after they were exited from
the program. The amount earned comes from the Nebraska Department of Labor’s Unemployment Insurance system and so to count in this measure, the individual
would need to be in a job that reports to this system. Those counted in this measure are those who had wages reported in the first quarter after exit.
• Employment Retention (Adult & DLWs)—this measure includes individuals who were employed in the first quarter after their exit and who did not receive an
exclusion from participation such as being institutionalized, deceased, medical/health, etc. A success is someone who is then also employed in the second and third
quarter after their exit.
• Placement in Employment or Education—This measure includes any youth who was not in post-secondary education or employment at the time they were
assigned a participation date and who did not receive an exclusion from participation such as being institutionalized, deceased, medical/health, etc. A success is a youth
who is employed or enrolled in post-secondary education and/or advanced training/occupational skills training in the first quarter after their exit.
• Attainment of a Degree/Certificate (Youth)—This measure includes anyone who enrolled in education either at the date of participation or at any point during the
program and who did not receive an exclusion from participation such as being institutionalized, deceased, medical/health, etc. A success is a youth who attains a
diploma, GED, or approved certificate by the end of the third quarter after they exit.
• Literacy/Numeracy—This measure includes out-of-school youth who are determined to be basic skills deficient (math or reading skills are at or below the 8th
grade level) and who did not receive an exclusion from participation such as being institutionalized, deceased, medical/health, etc. A success is a youth who increases
one or more educational functioning levels during the year(s) they are in the program.
Performance Goals: Meeting the PY goal at 100% makes us eligible for incentive funding if the State meets 100% in the aggregate for each performance measure. We
are compliant if we meet 90% of the PY goal in both the aggregate and each individual measure.
