The Athens Cultural Affairs Commission announced a recruitment drive for new members after recording that three commissioners—Mark Mobley, Marissa Chastain and Francis Oliver—have terms ending in March.

Staff member Tatiana Veneruso said the commission will release the call for applicants later in the week and encouraged current members to share the notice with potential candidates. The commission also noted it will need to fill the secretary role; meeting minutes indicate Matt Stefek has served as interim secretary and may be interested in the position.

The recruitment follows routine governance procedures: the commission recorded attendance and then moved to approve prior minutes before adjourning. At the Jan. 12 meeting, Commissioner Mark Mobley moved to approve the November minutes; Jessica Smith seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Mobley later moved to adjourn; Jessica Smith seconded and the meeting closed at 6:43 p.m.

Next steps: staff will publish the application call and provide timeline details to the commission and public.
