Rules Committee sends Anne Gallagher to full board for Commission on Aging seat

San Francisco Board of Supervisors Rules Committee · September 27, 2017

Summary

The Rules Committee voted without objection to recommend Anne Gallagher for a vacancy on the Commission on Aging after a statement read on her behalf detailed her 44 years as a special‑education teacher and advocacy for seniors.

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors Rules Committee on Sept. 27 recommended Anne (Ann) Gallagher to the full Board for appointment to the Commission on Aging, with members approving the recommendation 'without objection.'

Brianna Gonzalez, speaking on behalf of Gallagher, read a statement describing Gallagher’s background: she moved to San Francisco in 1973, raised a family here and spent 44 years as a special‑education teacher. "For the past 44 years, I have been a passionate advocate for children with special needs," the statement said, and it added Gallagher intends to bring that experience to work on senior issues in the city.

Committee members asked no substantive questions of the nominee. Supervisor (identified in the transcript as the mover) said Supervisor Ronan had endorsed Gallagher and moved to appoint her with a positive recommendation to the full Board; Chair Asher Safai announced the motion carried without objection.

The recommendation is a positive referral to the Board of Supervisors; the full Board will consider the appointment at a subsequent public meeting. The committee did not record a roll‑call vote in the transcript.
