The Piedmont Workforce Network Council combines the efforts of elected officials of Region 10 (Thomas Jefferson Planning District and Region 9, to manage the Virginia Career Works Piedmont (VCWP) One Stop job training and business services center located at Glenwood Station on Rio Road.
All agencies work in an integrated way at the Workforce Center on 944 Glenwood Station Lane, off Rio Road. This OneStop center was the first in the state to provide, under one roof, job training and referral as well as services to incumbent or first time workers, displaced, unemployed, or looking for a better job. Melding these agencies to work smoothly together has been the challenge since 2008. The end of the recession has increased drastically the need for the Workforce Center. Businesses use the services of the OneStop to find new workers or offer training for their current staff.
LEAP Governance Board
I joined the Local Energy Alliance Program (LEAP) board when chair of the County Board in 
January, 2010. Albemarle County signed on with the national Cool Counties agreement in 2008, to support efforts to reduce carbon emissions and energy consumption by local government buildings, vehicles, and operations. LEAP has become a weatherization expert and provider for home energy improvements, leveraging Federal, State, and utility dollars for local resident services.
Rivanna River Basin Commission
The Rivanna River Basin Commission (RRBC) is a quasi-governmental organization established by the General 
Assembly. It is the second of its kind in the state. The RRBC is composed of elected and citizen members of Rivanna watershed jurisdictions – Albemarle, Charlottesville, Greene, and Fluvanna. Small portions of Nelson and Louisa Counties are also in the watershed but those counties are not active in the RRBC. Regional water issues are also discussed with these counties at the TJPDC.
RRBC leadership and staff recommend programs to improve the water quality in our region. All citizens deserve clean water for drinking and recreation, and we all know a healthy watershed will bring improvements to our waters and support healthy ecosystems for all living things. As we take better care of our local waters, the wonderful consequence is improvements downstream and in the Chesapeake Bay.
The RRBC has led the community stakeholder efforts to develop local responses to the challenges of cleaning up the Bay.
