The Convention and Visitors Bureau advisory committee voted to elect Las Italo Lopez as chair and Jorge Luis Quijano as vice chair, the committee announced during its regular meeting.

Committee members discussed leadership turnover and acknowledged long service by existing members before putting the nomination to a voice vote. Speaker 1 introduced the motion to nominate Las Italo Lopez and Jorge Luis Quijano; members seconded the motion and the committee approved it. "Motion passes," Speaker 1 said after the vote, and members offered congratulations.

Committee members emphasized continuity and the desire to give others an opportunity to serve: several speakers noted Raymond and Magali had served for multiple terms. The advisory committee did not record amendments to the motion or a roll-call tally in the meeting transcript; the action was captured as a passed voice vote.

The newly elected chair and vice chair will assume leadership for committee proceedings and will preside over upcoming agenda items, including outreach and special-events planning.
