The Rec Centers of Sun City Board of Directors appointed Jana Mapes to the board on June 26 to fill a seat vacated earlier in the year. President Tom Foster administered the appointment and asked Mapes to pledge to uphold the corporation's articles of incorporation, bylaws and board policies; she replied, “I do.”

President Foster read the board's statement of trust in Mapes's leadership and acknowledged that board service is volunteer and involves balancing competing member interests. Mapes took her seat among the board members immediately after the pledge.

The appointment was an item on the meeting agenda; the board welcomed Mapes and indicated she will serve through the end of 2025 as a volunteer director. No formal vote on the appointment was recorded in the public meeting transcript; the board discussion framed the appointment as an action of the board and the appointee accepted the role at the podium.
