Community Board for Police Accountability moves to make conditional offer for director

Board member Trish nominated a candidate for director of the Community Board for Police Accountability and the board voted to move forward with a conditional offer.

"I nominate, um, candidate I, uh, >> [snorts] >> as the director of the Community Board for Police Accountability, to, uh, proceed forward making a conditional offer, completing background and reference checks, and obtain obtaining CJS approval," Trish said during the meeting, offering the formal nomination and laying out the conditions for hiring.

The board recorded votes by roll call and the moderator announced the motion passed. After the vote the moderator explained the board used an anonymous vote because there are additional administrative steps before the director can begin work: "when the director can be officially here, and that includes completing a background check, completing reference checks, and also getting CJIS approval," the moderator said, adding that a conditional offer would be made immediately and the board expected to be "a few weeks out" before publicly sharing the appointee's name.

Members exchanged congratulations following the vote. The meeting adjourned after the director recruitment update; no other business relating to the recruitment was taken up at the session.
