At the meeting of the Oshkosh City Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee, members nominated and elected Liz Swartz as the committee’s new chair.
Carl Buelow nominated Liz Swartz for chair. After three opportunities for nominations, a motion was made to close nominations and the committee held a roll-call vote. The vote was recorded as three ayes and the chair announced the motion passed, confirming Liz Swartz as the committee’s new chair.
Why it matters: leadership changes influence agenda-setting and committee priorities. Committee staff said they will assist the new chair as she learns her responsibilities and that the new chair will assume leadership beginning at the next meeting.
The outgoing facilitator (staff liaison) told Swartz she would finish running the remainder of this meeting and then hand over the chair role at the following meeting to ensure continuity. Members congratulated the new chair and proceeded with the agenda.
