Senior Citizens Advisory Board elects Nicole Graham as vice chair

Nicole Graham nominated herself for vice chair of the Senior Citizens Advisory Board during the May 1 meeting and the board approved the nomination by voice vote.

Graham identified herself and said she was interested in the role; another board member, Caroline Mosby, spoke in support and moved to place Graham on the ballot and later made a motion to have Graham serve as vice chair. The board voted by voice; the chair announced, “So moved, we have our new vice chair, Nicole Graham.”

Board members discussed the role briefly; the chair said the vice chair’s primary duties would be to run meetings when the chair cannot attend. No additional responsibilities or policy changes were established at the meeting.

Why this matters: the vice chair performs procedural duties when the chair is absent and helps maintain continuity for board meetings and outreach activities. Graham told the board she is willing to lead training and community outreach connected to issues discussed in this meeting.

The board did not record a roll-call vote; the approval was announced following a voice vote at the meeting.
