Pitkin County Board of Health re‑elects Greg Pochman as chair, Christa Gizel as vice chair
Summary
The Pitkin County Board of Health unanimously reappointed Greg Pochman as chair and Christa Gizel as vice chair during its May 12 meeting. Nominations were made and the board approved both positions by voice vote; no roll‑call tallies were recorded.
Greg Pochman was re‑appointed chair of the Pitkin County Board of Health on May 12 after members nominated and approved him by voice vote. The board opened nominations and a member moved to retain Pochman; another member seconded, and the chair called for those in favor, with members responding verbally.
The re‑election provides continuity as the board prepares for upcoming policy items, including discussions about the Healthy Community Fund. Jordana Sabella, who ran the election process, said nominees needed both a motion and second before the vote. The board also approved Christa Gizel to continue as vice chair; that vote was recorded as unanimous by voice.
Members who nominated and seconded the candidates described a desire for stability and continuity in leadership. Pochman said he appreciated the trust and planned to remain accessible to colleagues and community partners. The board did not record individual roll‑call votes or provide a numerical tally in the public meeting record.
The board will next meet July 16. The leadership will preside over agenda items expected to include the Healthy Community Fund ballot language and ongoing program reviews.
