Bob Iger was named to the task force by California Governor Gavin Newsom along with Apple CEO Tim Cook and four former state governors including Arnold Schwarzenegger, among others.

The primary goal of the task force is to “help California residents recover as fast as possible from the economic hardships” stemming from the current global situation, as more than three million residents of the state have filed for unemployment. The task force is set to meet twice a month throughout 2020.
