San Francisco school board names conference room for longtime parliamentarian Evelyn L. Wilson
Summary
The San Francisco Board of Education formally renamed its conference room the Evelyn L. Wilson Conference Room, honoring Wilson's 45 years of parliamentary service to the district. Family members and union leaders addressed the board in support; the resolution passed in a roll-call vote.
The San Francisco Board of Education voted to name its conference room the Evelyn L. Wilson Conference Room, honoring a longtime parliamentarian whose service the board said spanned decades.
Commissioner Winns read a corrected resolution that credited Wilson with 45 years of service to the San Francisco Unified School District and noted her leadership in the San Francisco Parent Teacher Association and the California Parliamentarians Organization. "Her work has set a standard of professionalism for the San Francisco School Board," Winns read as the board considered the resolution.
Dennis Kelly, president of the United Educators of San Francisco, told the board he had spent 45 years in the district and that Wilson had been the only parliamentarian he had known during his career. "She will be greatly missed and we are very much in support of this resolution," Kelly said.
Family members also addressed the board after the vote. Josh Wilson, introduced as Evelyn Wilson’s son, described his mother’s dedication and said the family appreciated the recognition. The board then accepted a certificate and plaque intended for placement in the new conference room.
The resolution was introduced under suspension of the rules and adopted by roll call (minutes record the roll-call as approved). After the vote the board invited family members forward for remarks and a brief ceremony.
