Personnel Committee confirms two first-term appointments, holds executive session

The Personnel Committee met Sept. 22, 2025, and voted unanimously to enter an executive session before confirming two first-term appointments to Huntington-related boards.

The committee approved a resolution (2025-R-88) confirming the appointment of Mary Beth Anderson to a first term and later approved a separate motion confirming Matt Pinson to a first term. Both confirmations passed by voice vote with three members saying "aye." The committee recessed into executive session earlier in the meeting; after the closed session the committee completed the roll-call votes to confirm the appointments.

Committee members present at the start of the meeting included (by roll call) Mister Archer, Miss Blau and Miss Johnson; Miss Mountain was absent. Missus Atkins called the meeting to order and confirmed a quorum. Jeff Dewey and an individual identified as Matt were also present in the room as staff or attendees. The committee had three items on the agenda, including the resolution identified in the meeting packet as 2025-R-88.

A motion to enter executive session was moved and seconded and carried on a 3-0 voice vote. After the executive session the committee returned to open session and moved to confirm Mary Beth Anderson to a first term on the Huntington body referenced in the agenda packet; that confirmation was approved by voice vote. The committee subsequently moved and seconded confirmation of Matt Pinson to a first term; that motion likewise passed on a 3-0 voice vote. Minutes recorded the motion for the final confirmation as "Motion by Miss Blau, second by Miss Johnson."

No substantive public debate or detailed discussion of the appointees' qualifications or terms is recorded in the transcript; the meeting moved from the executive session directly to the roll-call confirmations and then adjourned. The committee concluded its business and adjourned the meeting.
