Appomattox County's Board of Supervisors reorganized leadership at its first 2026 meeting, electing Mister Hinkle as chair, selecting Reverend Al Jones as vice chair and confirming County Administrator Susan Adams as clerk of the board.

The board opened nominations for chair and, following a nomination by Miss Adams and a second, elected Mister Hinkle by voice vote. "All in favor of Mister Hinkle serving as the chairman for 2026, say aye," an unidentified board member said; the transcript records members responding "Aye."

Reverend Al Jones was nominated and elected vice chair by voice vote. The board then moved to adopt Robert's Rules of Order, Newly Revised, for the board's proceedings; a member asked whether the rules as printed allow the chair to make motions, and the motion to adopt included a caveat to revisit the rules if the printed version did not permit that practice. The rules were adopted by voice vote with that reservation.

The board adopted its bylaws and rules of procedure for calendar year 2026 "as printed in the agenda," with no changes recorded in the transcript from the prior year. Reverend Jones moved to confirm County Administrator Susan Adams as Clerk of the Board; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. "Congratulations, Mister Chairman," an unidentified speaker said after the election.

The board set meeting dates for 2026: regular meetings will be held on the third Monday of each month at 6:00 p.m., except in January and February when the meetings will be held on Tuesdays at 6:00 p.m. The designated meeting location is the Board of Supervisors meeting room at 333 Court Street at Maddox.

There were no recorded controversial exchanges, amendments to bylaws, or roll-call vote tallies in the transcript provided; actions were taken by motion, second and voice vote. The meeting adjourned after the scheduled organizational items were completed.
