Council meets Yasamin Nawabi, nominee for Asian Affairs Commission seat
Summary
Yasamin Nawabi introduced herself to the City Council as a nominee to fill a seat on the Asian Affairs Commission (term to 01/01/2028); councilors thanked her and invited her to upcoming meetings. No formal appointment vote is recorded in the transcript.
Yasamin Nawabi, a DoD-accredited representative working with the YWCA and a volunteer with multiple Tulsa community organizations, introduced herself at a Tulsa City Council meeting as a candidate for appointment to the Asian Affairs Commission representing Council District 4. The term referenced in the agenda runs through Jan. 1, 2028.
Nawabi told the council she is “currently working as a DoD DOUG accredited representative with YWCA Doseligan department,” serves on the board of the Afghan community in Tulsa, and volunteers with local groups and schools. She also said she is pursuing a master’s degree in law.
Council members welcomed Nawabi. Councilor Price thanked her “for your willingness to serve” and noted the commission is new; other council members invited her to attend the council meeting on the 11th and described opportunities to address the full council from the dais. The transcript does not record a formal roll-call vote or an explicit approval of her appointment.
If the council later takes a recorded vote to confirm an appointment, that action will appear in official minutes and the council’s agenda packet.
