The Metro Board of Parks and Recreation welcomed Alice Hudson Pell as a new board member (term through April 30, 2030) and closed nominations for vice-chair with two nominees; the board will vote on vice-chair in August.
At the July 1 meeting the Metro Board of Parks and Recreation approved the appointment of Alice Hudson Pell as a board member with a term to expire April 30, 2030.
Chair Michelle Steele welcomed Hudson Pell to the board and offered congratulations. The transcript records a welcome exchange and a ceremonial acknowledgment; no separate roll-call vote was recorded on the appointment during the meeting minutes presented.
The board also opened nominations for park board vice chair under section 1,000.4 of the Metropolitan Parks Policy Manual and received nominations for Edward Henley and Shane Foster.
