Alabama Department of Workforce Secretary Greg Reed announced Tuesday that Keyarrow Moore-Bonner has been appointed as the chief labor officer for the department.
“I am pleased to appoint Keyarrow to this position, which is a first for our agency,” said Reed. “Her experience and dedication to helping the people of Alabama will serve her well in this role. I’m confident that she will represent Alabama and this agency in a positive manner and will lead this new division in an innovative direction.”
Moore-Bonner is a native of Selma, Alabama, and a graduate of the Selma Early College High School program. She relocated to Montgomery and attended Alabama State University. She later graduated from Faulkner Law with a Juris Doctor and a Master of Laws, and from the University of Alabama Law School with an LLM in Taxation.
Moore-Bonner has several years of experience in government law, serving as an assistant attorney general previously with the Department of Revenue. She also has experience in criminal and tax law.
“I am excited about transitioning into this role with the department and look forward to making progress in increasing efficiency, effectiveness, and service. I hope to see strides made to advance our unemployment insurance division, hearings and appeals, and workers’ compensation programs. I have spent the bulk of my legal career in state government, and I am excited to be part of leading this division into a new era,” said Moore-Bonner.
The newly created Labor Division is composed of the Unemployment Insurance, the Hearings and Appeals, and the Workers’ Compensation Divisions.
Moore-Bonner serves on the Alabama PTA Board of Directors, is a member of the Junior League of Montgomery, and is a board member of the Montgomery County Bar Association and the Alabama Lawyers Association. She is a wife and mother of 3 and has been employed with the agency since 2023.
Last year’s “Alabama Workforce Transformation Act” legislation added to and renamed the Department of Labor as the Alabama Department of Workforce.
