Tulsa African American Affairs Commission receives member's resignation; commissioners approve minutes and reorder agenda
Summary
Commissioner Berlinda Radney announced she will step down from her seat and recommended replacing her organization's designated seat with a local NAREB chapter. The commission approved January minutes, agreed to reorder the agenda, and later adjourned after committee reports and public comment.
Berlinda Radney announced during new business that she intends to step away from her seat on the African American Affairs Commission and recommended that the seat designation tied to the Business and Agents Networking Group (BANG) be replaced by the local chapter of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB).
Radney said she has represented BANG since the commission's formation and described the organization's evolution; she asked that the commission and the mayor's office consider redesignating the seat to NAREB so the membership will have a formal representative. Commissioners thanked Radney for her service and praised her contributions.

The commission also voted to change the order of business to allow Radney to guide new-business items.
