The board then conducted its annual elections. For chair, a member nominated Jen Wise to continue in the role, saying she had “done a remarkable job.” The nomination was moved and seconded according to the meeting record; the chair called for a voice vote and announced that the nomination passed.

For vice chair, a member nominated Dan Guzman and a second was recorded. The chair called for a voice vote; the nomination passed and the chair confirmed that the votes for chair and vice chair were complete.

No roll-call vote tallies with individual member votes were entered into the record; results were announced by voice and recorded by the chair.
