Committee Recommends Cynthia Crim for St. Louis City Senior Fund Board

On Dec. 16, a St. Louis City committee unanimously recommended Cynthia Crim for reappointment to the Senior Fund Board and forwarded the nomination to the full board for final confirmation.

The committee’s recommendation followed a short presentation from a committee member, Sonya, who described Crim’s record in community relations and grant work and called Crim’s reappointment “an honor to stand before you all today and present Miss Crim for a reappointment to the senior fund board.”

Cynthia Crim told the committee she has “been serving on the senior fund board since the inception,” said she is the board’s vice chair and described her professional role in charitable giving. She said the Norman J. Stubb Foundation, where she is senior program manager, has “about 25,000,000 in asset, and we distribute about 1,000,000 in grants, throughout the city, and the county, and also in Metro East.”

Committee members thanked Crim for her service, praised her administrative and grantmaking experience and asked no substantive follow-up questions. The committee chair moved to recommend Crim’s reappointment, a second was recorded and the chair announced there was “no objection,” calling the committee’s recommendation unanimous. The committee’s recommendation will be sent to the full board for a final vote.

Earlier in the brief session the committee approved the minutes from its Dec. 11 meeting by roll call. The meeting concluded after the committee moved and seconded to adjourn.

The nomination will next be considered by the full St. Louis City board at a later meeting; the committee did not record a formal roll-call vote on the nomination, only the committee’s unanimous recommendation.
