Court appoints Jason Denny to Sobering Center board after interviews
Summary
Following interviews of three candidates, the court appointed Jason Denny to fill an unexpired term on the Sobering Center board; the vote was unanimous after a closed‑session discussion of advisory board appointments.
After interviewing three applicants using a standard six‑question format and discussing candidates in executive session under the advisory board personnel exception, the court returned to open session and moved to appoint Jason Denny to the unexpired Sobering Center board term that expires at the end of the year. The motion to appoint passed unanimously.
The interviews had focused on candidates’ motivations, relevant leadership or lived‑experience credentials, views on jail diversion and collaboration with law enforcement and health providers, and ideas for outreach and fundraising. Applicants described experience in education, nonprofit veteran services, recovery, and victim‑services advocacy; the appointed candidate, Jason Denny, cited recovery experience and work with veterans’ housing programs.
