Workforce Solutions just announced that Brent Meaux of State Farm Insurance in Jasper has been appointed to the Deep East Texas Local Workforce Development Board by chairman Ronnie Robinson.

Meaux said he hopes "to help our city and county officials by bringing them the information needed to prepare our community for the next 25 years with regards to employment and economic opportunities."

The board assists local economic development organizations to bring jobs to the region and prepare the workforce to meet the skill needs of employers, according to a press release announcing Meaux's appointment.

Meaux said the area's two greatest needs are to establish a well-trained workforce, and to hold the unemployment recipients more accountable.
