LANSING, Mich. - Gov. Rick Snyder today announced the appointment of Tony Day, of Union City, to the Talent Investment Board.
Housed within the Workforce Development Agency of the Michigan Economic Development Corp., the Talent Investment Board was created in 2011 and consists of 47 members who assist and advise the governor regarding compliance with the federal Workforce Investment Act and overall talent development.
