The City of Janesville's GM/JATCO Redevelopment Advisory Board convened on September 24, 2025, to establish leadership roles within the newly formed board. The primary focus of the meeting was the election of a board chair and vice chair, essential positions for guiding future discussions and decisions.

During the meeting, it was emphasized that the chair would be responsible for running the meetings, facilitating motions, and guiding votes. The vice chair would step in when the chair is unavailable. Board members were encouraged to communicate openly about their willingness to serve in these roles, with the assurance that if someone elected as chair felt it was not a suitable fit, they could be replaced.

This initial step in organizing the board is crucial for ensuring effective governance as the group begins its work on redevelopment initiatives in Janesville. The establishment of leadership roles will help streamline future meetings and decision-making processes as the board addresses the redevelopment of the GM/JATCO site.
