Gerald Bryant elected president; Samantha Green named vice president of Alameda social‑services board
Summary
After nominations and discussion about process, the Social Services Human Relations Board elected Gerald Bryant president and Samantha Green vice president. The board reopened the item when an absent member’s presence was uncertain and completed the vote during the meeting.
Samantha Green, the board’s vice president serving as acting president, reopened the leadership item and invited nominations for president and vice president. Following discussion about past practice for selecting officers, members nominated Samantha Green and Gerald Bryant; an initial proposal pairing Green as president and Bryant as vice president failed.
The board then advanced a motion to elect Gerald Bryant as president and Samantha Green as vice president. Samantha Green moved the second motion: “I motion to vote for Gerald as president and Sam as vice president.” The motion passed when members responded “aye”; the transcript does not record a full numeric roll-call tally. The board resumed its planned breakout work after the appointment.
The selection was conducted under the board’s standard nomination and motion procedures; members discussed whether to delay action until an absent member could participate but proceeded during the meeting. The board did not record a formal, named tally in the available transcript; the outcome is recorded in the board minutes as approved.
