The Committee on Business and Economic Development convened on September 24, 2025, to discuss two significant resolutions regarding key appointments within the District of Columbia. The meeting, chaired by Kenyan McDuffie, focused on the confirmation of Cheryl Doggett to the Washington Convention and Sports Authority Board of Directors and Frederick P. Moussalli as the Director of the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration.
The first resolution, PR26-283, pertains to the confirmation of Cheryl Doggett, who has been nominated for reappointment to the Washington Convention and Sports Authority Board of Directors. Introduced by Chairman Mendelson on July 14, 2025, this resolution aims to extend Doggett's term until May 16, 2029. Doggett, who has served on the board since October 2014, highlighted her extensive experience in business finance and her commitment to enhancing the District's hospitality and entertainment sectors. She emphasized the importance of these industries in fostering community engagement and economic development, particularly through initiatives that benefit all eight wards of the city.
Following Doggett's testimony, the committee moved to discuss the second resolution, PR26-230, which seeks to confirm Frederick P. Moussalli as the Director of the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration for a term ending on July 14, 2029. This resolution was introduced on June 13, 2025, and referred to the committee on June 17. Moussalli's confirmation is crucial as he oversees the regulation of alcoholic beverages and cannabis, sectors that are increasingly significant to the District's economy.
The meeting proceeded without public witnesses, allowing the committee to focus on the testimonies of the nominees. Doggett expressed gratitude for the opportunity to continue serving the residents of Washington, D.C., and reiterated her dedication to promoting the District as a premier destination for sports and entertainment.
As the committee concluded the session, it was clear that both resolutions are pivotal for the ongoing development and management of the District's business and economic landscape. The committee plans to deliberate further on these appointments, with the next steps in the confirmation process expected to follow shortly.
