Candidate Mackenzie Roller introduces herself to Milwaukee advisory board; vote to follow
Summary
Mackenzie Roller, a local resident and caregiver who described starting a nonprofit for children with rare disorders, gave a brief introduction to the advisory board. The board will discuss her candidacy in closed session at the end of the meeting and then vote to forward a recommendation to the county commissioners.
Mackenzie Roller spoke to the Milwaukee Community Center advisory board to introduce herself as a candidate for a vacancy on the advisory panel.
Roller said she and her family moved to the area about 10 years ago and described personal connections to the center: a mother living with dementia who is a center participant and a son with a rare genetic disorder that has motivated her to explore starting a nonprofit and other community supports. "I want to get her more involved in the community," Roller said of her mother, and she described previous work in human resources and organizational development.
Board leadership explained the appointment process: the candidate would give a short overview, be welcome to observe the meeting, then be asked to leave for the board's private deliberation and vote; if the board approves, the name will be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners for final appointment. The chair noted that the county's schedule can delay confirmation by a month or two.
Board members who interacted with Roller praised her energy and contributions during the meeting. The meeting record shows the board later voted to accept the prior meeting minutes by voice vote and planned a final discussion and vote on the vacancy at the meeting's close.
