Kaci Roach, the New Growth Partnership consultant working with the board, described her current objective to assemble a community scoreboard and to review service delivery across partners. Roach told members she has been interviewing all managers and is comparing Lorain County with Ohio Means Jobs centers in Erie, Stark, Summit, Tuscarawas and Lake counties; she said she will share her findings in bi‑weekly meetings.

The consultant framed the work as benchmarking and discovery rather than immediate change, telling the board the review is intended to yield lessons from similarly sized workforce boards and to inform future local adjustments to service design. Board members did not take action on the item but noted they expect periodic updates.
