Who is the “Board” in the Juvenile Welfare Board?
The JWB Children’s Services Council Board of Directors is comprised of eleven members. Six are appointed to the Board by the Governor. The other five are “ex-officio” members. Ex-officio means they serve on the Board because of an elected office or appointed position that they hold. The ex-officio Board members are a Juvenile Judge from the 6th Judicial Circuit Court, the State Attorney for the 6th Judicial Circuit Court, the Public Defender for the 6th Judicial Circuit Court, a Pinellas County Commissioner, and the Commissioner of Pinellas County Schools. Visit the JWB Board page to learn more about the current members of JWB’s Board of Directors.
