Gloucester County WDB elects chair and vice chair; board reviews policies and contracts
Summary
At its April 1 meeting the Gloucester County Workforce Development Board elected Daniel Sulpizio chair and Anthony Bellia vice chair, recorded motions to approve fiscal policies, the PY24-25 annual report and the South Jersey regional plan update, and discussed new WIOA and WorkFirst NJ contracts and vendor transitions (vote tallies not specified in the transcript).
Daniel Sulpizio, listed as WDB chairman in the meeting roster, opened the April 1 Gloucester County Workforce Development Board meeting and reported the results of a Special Executive Committee election: ballots emailed to voting members named Daniel Sulpizio as WDB Chair and Anthony Bellia as WDB Vice Chair.
Allison Spinelli, WDB staff, provided an overview of the Gloucester County WDB Fiscal Policies & Procedures required by the New Jersey Department of Labor (NJDOL) Office of Internal Audit. The transcript records motions to approve the Fiscal Policies & Procedures, the PY24-25 Annual Report and the South Jersey Regional WDB Plan Update; each motion was seconded, though the transcript does not provide roll-call results or vote tallies.
Spinelli also reported contract updates: new contracts for WorkFirst NJ services and WIOA Career Services are in place. The WIOA Career Services contract has a start date of Jan. 1, 2026. Staff said WorkFirst NJ services began this month under awards to multiple vendors: Rowan College of South Jersey/CTE was awarded some services and a new vendor, Business Interface, was also awarded contracts after the previous vendor, Mid-Atlantic States Career & Educational Services, ended service delivery in March.
Commissioner Liaison Joann Gattinelli (virtually) told the board that a March 6 mega job fair drew 450 job seekers, 76 employers and 26 resource agencies. Staff also noted ongoing policy updates and monitoring activities (program and fiscal), with final reports and NJDOL review pending.
The meeting closed after Carolyn Oldt moved adjournment, seconded by Nick Bidinger. The board scheduled its next meeting for Aug. 5, 2026. The transcript records motions and reported outcomes where explicitly stated (the chair election was announced), but vote tallies for most approvals were not recorded in the transcript and are therefore not reported here.
