The Sacramento Disability Advisory Commission on Jan. 14 re-elected Sylvia Kramer as chair for 2026 and confirmed Keith Ellis as vice chair.
The commission began the meeting with nominations. Commissioner Barnbaum nominated incumbent Sylvia Kramer for a second term; Chair Kramer then nominated Vice Chair Keith Ellis for the chair position. Because two valid nominations were on the table, the body voted first on the motion to make Vice Chair Ellis chair, which did not pass. The commission then voted to reappoint Sylvia Kramer as chair.
