At the opening of the Dec. 14 meeting the Alcohol Beverage Board elected Kevin Hall as vice chair. Linda Talchinsky, serving as acting chair earlier in the session, called for nominations after the board noted a vacancy following a member’s departure.

A motion was made and seconded to elect Kevin Hall; the board voted by voice and approved the election. Talchinsky announced “We have a new vice chair, Kevin Hall.”

Ending: Kevin Hall will serve as vice chair until the board elects a permanent chair at a future meeting.
