Chair Joseph Todd called the Commission on African American Affairs meeting to order at 1:00 p.m. and the roll call was completed shortly after, the minutes show. Members present included Chair Todd, Vice Chair Michael Bailey, Commissioners Stacy Estes, Lolinda Turner and Corwin Scott, as well as Executive Director Edward O. Prince and Program Manager Charlotte Kerney; Commissioner Zellynda Perkins and Executive Assistant Keahna Umpstead were listed as absent. The minutes state that a quorum was not established for this session.
Executive Director Edward O. Prince delivered the Executive Director's Report updating commissioners on current commission efforts and work; the minutes do not record any formal votes or commission-level actions during this meeting. The agenda scheduled a public comment period at 3:30 p.m. and listed adjournment at 4:00 p.m.; the provided minutes note the time blocks but do not list individual public commenters or recorded statements in the transcript excerpt. Because quorum was not reached, the meeting record shows informational updates and presentations rather than formal commission decisions.
