Panel advances nominees to Board of Personnel Appeals after brief vetting
Summary
The committee heard and advanced three gubernatorial nominees — Carrie Davant, Julie Smith and Jenny Stringer — for the Montana Board of Personnel Appeals; supporters emphasized nominees' human-resources and labor-relations experience and the board's quasi-judicial role.
Senator Mark Noland opened consideration of Senate Resolution 106, introducing nominees for the Montana Board of Personnel Appeals. Hannah Slusser from the governor's office summarized the board's duties as a quasi‑judicial body that reviews collective-bargaining matters, then introduced the nominees.
Nominee Carrie Davant described her 24 years of public-service experience in human resources, labor relations and administrative hearings and asked for confirmation. Julie Smith and Jenny Stringer also described their backgrounds in human-resources management, labor relations and dispute resolution. Sarah Swanson, commissioner of the Department of Labor and Industry, and other department staff testified in support, noting the nominees' experience and asking the committee to confirm the appointments.
After questions and brief discussion, the committee moved SR 106 forward; the resolution passed in committee and will proceed to the Senate floor for confirmation.
