Summary
The Norwalk City Council appointed Simone Elaine Morris to the Commission on Gender Equity on March 24, 2026, following endorsements from councilmembers citing her DEI and leadership experience; the vote was taken by voice with no opposition recorded.
Councilmember Weenerstrand moved to appoint Simone Elaine Morris to the Norwalk City Commission on Gender Equity at the March 24, 2026, City Council meeting; the council approved the appointment by voice vote with no opposition recorded.
Weenerstrand introduced Morris’s nomination and said: "She is an award winning executive and thought leader with 25 plus years of corporate and entrepreneurial leadership development. She's working on her PhD in human development and organizational systems. She's a board member with Norwalk acts. She's a very strong community, public service profile." The nominator tied Morris’s experience to the commission’s work on equity and inclusion.

The appointment follows outreach and programming described earlier during the meeting, including a recent collaboration between Norwalk Public Schools and the commission mentioned by the nominator. The council did not record a roll-call vote tally in the meeting transcript; the approval was recorded by voice vote.
