Job training oversight board to elect officers

The oversight board for Fulton County's use of federal job-training funds will meet in College Park on Thursday to elect its 2012-13 officers. The meeting starts at 9:30 a.m. at the Office of Workforce Development's Youth Employment Services Center, 4842 Old National Highway.
