Disability commission subcommittee discusses leadership change, approves minutes and adjourns
Summary
The workforce supports subcommittee thanked outgoing chair Andrew LaVault, discussed appointing a new chair or co‑chairs (one volunteer joined the committee), approved the August 2025 minutes by voice vote and adjourned after a brief governance discussion.
The Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Persons with Disabilities’ workforce supports subcommittee used the end of its meeting to thank outgoing subcommittee chair Andrew LaVault, announce a new commissioner joining the full commission, discuss options for a new chair or co‑chair model, approve the August 2025 meeting minutes, and adjourn.
Leadership: Members publicly thanked Andrew LaVault for his leadership. Victoria Gill was announced as joining the commission; members encouraged continued involvement while formal leadership is settled.
Governance discussion: The subcommittee discussed whether to nominate a new chair or to adopt a co‑chair model. A participant identified as "Rach" volunteered to join the committee; staff offered ongoing management support and suggested finalizing chair/co‑chair appointments with the full commission by December or January.
Votes and formal actions: Andrew LaVault moved to approve the August 2025 meeting minutes; a member seconded and the chair called for voice votes, which were recorded as 'Aye' and the motion passed. Near the end of the meeting a motion to adjourn was moved, seconded, and approved by voice vote.
Procedural note: The transcript records voice votes and short 'Aye' responses but does not provide a roll‑call tally listing each member's vote by name; where individual votes were not recorded, the article reports outcomes as stated in the meeting record.
The meeting then adjourned.
