Commissioners appoint two new members to Cultural Council after expanded recruitment
Summary
Following an expanded outreach campaign that generated 80 applications, Boulder County commissioners approved two appointments to the Cultural Council — Kevin Benitez and Christina Rudiski — on Jan. 7, citing their complementary skills in project management, finance and nonprofit arts experience.
Boulder County commissioners on Jan. 7 approved two appointments to the county Cultural Council after staff described an extended recruitment effort that drew 80 applications.
Robin Valdez of the commissioner’s office summarized the outreach program, which ran from Oct. 7 to Dec. 12 and sought to fill 103 board and committee openings (89 external positions and 14 employee positions). Valdez said the campaign produced 80 applications, an improvement over recent years, though some individual boards remained short of applicants and recruitment will continue for those vacancies.
Valdez and the board liaison recommended the appointment of Kevin Benitez and Christina Rudiski to the Cultural Council. Commissioners praised the recruitment work and moved to appoint both candidates. Commissioner Loachman moved approval of item 4a as presented; the motion passed on a voice vote.
Ending: The two appointees join the Cultural Council, and county staff will continue targeted recruitment for remaining vacancies noted in the outreach report.
