Jacob Luria Application - Personal Info Redacted — File 24-0861
3. Have you served on a nonprofit board or governmental advisory committee in the
past or currently? If so, what is one lesson you would take from that experience to the
Job Creation and Retention Trust Board of Trustees?
No I have not. I have served on 5 Medicaid health plan boards and as board chair of a
501c3 focused on attaching alumni of Carleton College (where I went to school) to jobs
with annual fundraising budget of over $220k. The biggest lesson from working with
diverse boards (including with religious, union, and community stakeholders) is to be
extraordinarily clear with objectives, alignment of tactics to objectives, and do not think
of service on a board as “representative” – I would not join this Community as
representing local entrepreneurs but to serve the Community’s employment and labor
force targets.
4. What do you believe is the biggest threat facing the regional labor market in the
next 10 years?
I believe the combination of high wage jobs and low housing stock available is making
the non-high skilled job market untenable.
5. What do you believe is the most urgent issue facing job seekers or employers
today that the Job Creation and Retention Trust could address?
I believe the most urgent issue is the disparity of gains in the economy going
to shareholders and the individuals with capital versus non-high skilled
workers. I believe this can be addressed through enhanced training, benefit
programs, and ancillary benefits for low-wage professions to add additional
non wage economic and non economic benefit.
Thank you,
Jacob Luria
