Super Neighborhood Alliance elects Leticia as chair, names Cheryl O’Brien vice chair; approves June and July minutes
Summary
Members voted by hand to move elections earlier in the agenda, elected Leticia as chair and Cheryl O’Brien as vice chair to fill terms through January, and approved June and July meeting minutes with minor corrections and a noted notice-provisions question.
The Super Neighborhood Alliance elected Leticia as chair and Cheryl O’Brien as vice chair during a membership vote at its September meeting, filling the remainder of leadership terms that run until January.
The Alliance first approved a motion to move the elections ahead of old business. The membership then considered a nominating committee slate; Doug presented Leticia as the nominee for chair and said the position would be to fill the unexpired term through January. Members voted by hand; the meeting recorded 20 votes in favor and no recorded opposing votes for Leticia’s selection. With Leticia confirmed, the committee nominated Cheryl O’Brien for vice chair; the membership recorded 19 votes in favor and no recorded opposition.
Why it matters: The selections fill two officer vacancies after the prior chair resigned and Leticia stepped up as acting chair. Officers will serve only until the Alliance’s scheduled January elections, when chair and vice chair positions and the secretary post will be on the ballot for standard terms.
Minutes and procedural notes Members also approved meeting minutes for June and July. A motion to approve the July minutes passed by hand vote; members then discussed the June minutes and a small set of corrections (including what one member described as a notice-provisions legal question that was not yet resolved). The June minutes were approved with the discussed correction; the meeting recorded two members opposing that approval during the hand vote.
The Alliance’s acting chair and nominating committee emphasized that the newly elected officers will serve until the January election and invited members interested in running for the January slate to contact the nominating committee by Oct. 1.
What next: The executive committee will work with members who express interest in January’s elections and continue committee setup; the chair and vice chair were thanked for stepping into the roles for the interim term.
