Commissioners elected Commissioner Therese Brown as board president, Commissioner Rich Beck as vice president and Commissioner Ron Turpin as secretary during the Allen County Commissioners legislative session on Jan. 3, 2025. The motion carried by voice vote.

The change follows the board's annual reorganization at the start of the calendar year, a routine item on the county's agenda. The commissioners moved and seconded the slate during the meeting; the chair then turned the gavel over to Brown.

The election was procedural and required only a majority voice vote. No additional debate or public comment was recorded on the nomination.

The board proceeded to approve other routine items on the agenda, including minutes and several contracts and appointments later in the session.

The next legislative session was not scheduled during the meeting; commissioners adjourned after public comment was closed.
