Chattanooga IDB elects board officers for coming fiscal year

The City of Chattanooga Industrial Development Board elected new officers Monday, choosing Carrie Hayes as chair, Aldia Jones as vice chair, Porter Parker as secretary and Jim Floyd as assistant secretary. The votes were taken by voice during the board's July 14 meeting after the chair opened the floor for nominations. Each nomination received a second and passed on an affirmative voice vote. The elections were handled as the first order of business after the board confirmed a quorum for the meeting. Board members then approved minutes from the June 2 meeting by voice vote and moved into program updates. No contested races or recorded roll-call tallies were presented in the meeting record; actions were taken by unanimous voice vote when the ayes were called. The board will hold regular monthly meetings; members who were present and who participated in the nominations and votes were recorded in the meeting minutes.
