EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE REPORT
No report.


CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
Chairman Harris thanked everyone who attended the reception hosted jointly by Board of Regents and DTAE Board honoring the State Legislators.


COMMISSIONER'S REPORT
Reminded everyone of Manufacturing Appreciation Week and the luncheon on April 19. There will be about 1000 people at the luncheon and the 5 sponsors are: BellSouth, Pattillo, Randstad, KPMG, and Georgia Power. Awards will be presented to small, medium and large manufacturers. Update given on attention DTAE is receiving from other states on their program. Stated DTAE is not doing anything different but the fact of name change of schools to colleges is gaining the recognition. A group from Wyoming will be visiting next week. The reason they are coming is because "they are not a pro active state" in terms of workforce development and their perception is that Georgia is, therefore, they want to get a little flavor of what Georgia is doing.


ADJOURN
There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 1:55 p.m.

Executive Secretary
