Summary
Two nominees — Annette Miller for the City of Tulsa Arts Commission and Donald Rose Jr. for the Greater Tulsa Area African American Affairs Commission (GTAC) — appeared for introductory remarks; both will appear on the May 7 council confirmation agenda.
Two nominees appeared before the Tulsa City Council to introduce themselves for advisory commission appointments and to describe their backgrounds.
Nick Annette Miller introduced herself as a practicing artist and co‑founder of a nonprofit to elevate American Sign Language programming at cultural institutions; the council packet lists her as an appointee to the City of Tulsa Arts Commission to replace Brandon Ruehl with a term expiring Dec. 14, 2026 and as a resident of Council District 9. Council staff told Miller her confirmation will be on the council’s May 7 agenda and that she is welcome to make remarks then.
Donald Rose Jr. appeared for appointment to the Greater Tulsa Area African American Affairs Commission (GTAC) to fill a new seat representing the Black Wall Street Chamber of Commerce, with a term expiring May 1, 2028 (appointment listed from Council District 3). Rose told councilors he is a native Tulsan, a tenured U.S. Army veteran, serves on the Oklahoma HIV and Hepatitis Planning Council and had recently been appointed director of operations for the Black Wall Street Chamber of Commerce as that organization undergoes a strategic planning process.
The council received both introductions; staff noted confirmation of the two appointments will appear on the May 7 council agenda. No formal confirmation votes are recorded in the provided transcript.
