Council hears two commission appointment introductions; confirmations set for May 7 meeting
Summary
Two residents introduced themselves for appointment to city commissions: Nick Annette Miller for the Arts Commission and Donald Rose Jr. for the Greater Tulsa Area African American Affairs Commission; both will appear on the May 7 council confirmation agenda.
Nick Annette Miller and Donald Rose Jr. appeared before the Tulsa City Council to introduce themselves for appointments to city commissions and to describe their backgrounds and interest in serving. Both appointees were told their confirmations will be placed on the council’s May 7 agenda.
Nick Annette Miller introduced herself as a practicing artist and co‑founder of a nonprofit that promotes American Sign Language programs in cultural institutions. She said she brings lived experience with the deaf and hard‑of‑hearing community and a family history as Vietnamese refugees, and presented that background as a qualification for the Arts Commission seat she is nominated to fill. Council members thanked Miller for her willingness to serve and invited her to attend the May 7 confirmation hearing.
Donald Rose Jr. spoke next after being nominated to the Greater Tulsa Area African American Affairs Commission to fill a Black Wall Street Chamber of Commerce seat. Rose said he is a native Tulsan and a tenured U.S. Army veteran who serves on the Oklahoma HIV and Hepatitis Planning Council and with HIV Oklahoma. He said he recently became director of operations for the Black Wall Street Chamber of Commerce and described the chamber’s current strategic planning effort and three focus pillars: economic development, entrepreneurship and preservation of history. Councilors thanked him and invited him to the May 7 confirmation hearing as well.
No formal votes or final confirmations were recorded in the transcript excerpt; the council clerk and staff said each nomination will be placed on the May 7 agenda for formal action.
