Commission on Equity elects Jackson as chair and Makita as vice chair for 2026
Summary
After nominations, commissioners elected Commissioner Jackson as chair and Makita as vice chair for 2026 by raised-hand vote; consent from nominees was recorded and no tallies were provided in the transcript.
The commission held nominations and an election for chair and vice chair for 2026. Multiple commissioners nominated candidates; nominees confirmed consent as required. The commission voted by raised hands and selected Commissioner Jackson as chair and Makita as vice chair. The transcript records the outcome and congratulations but does not record a numeric roll-call tally.
During the nominations discussion, commissioners confirmed consent and asked procedural questions about whether to vote on chair and vice chair separately (the commission proceeded separately). Staff confirmed votes by raised hands and the chair announced the winners.
The commission moved on to commissioner reports and calendar items after announcing the new leadership for 2026.
