Opioid Abatement Council establishes vice chair role and elects Dr. Jackson
Summary
The council voted to create a vice chair position for continuity and unanimously elected Dr. Jackson as vice chair; members said a vice chair would help when the chair recuses or is unavailable.
The Opioid Abatement Council voted to create a vice chair position to improve continuity of leadership and to ensure someone familiar with planning meetings can step in when the chair is absent or must recuse. The motion to establish the position was introduced by the chair and was supported in discussion by several members who noted the benefits of a single vice chair rather than co‑chairs.
Council member Stephanie Vanderpool nominated Dr. Jackson for the vice chair role; the nomination was seconded and carried by roll call. Members said a vice chair who participates in planning meetings will provide continuity when the chair is unavailable. Dr. Jackson accepted the nomination and the council recorded the roll call vote.
