The local elected officials (LEOs) have a central role in the creation, implementation and operation of the workforce investment system and work closely with the local workforce board. The LEOs appoint a Chief Local Elected Official (CLEO) to make decisions unilaterally for the LEOs.

Ken Doke, Muskogee County, Certified Local Elected Official, Chair
Sam Chandler, Adair County
Doug Hubbard, Cherokee County
