Tiara Brewer testifies to committee, highlights mentorship and local designer support
Summary
Tiara Brewer testified before the Committee on Public Works and Operations in a confirmation hearing for PR26-29, describing her fashion-industry background, Ward 8 roots, and plans to mentor local designers and expand community-facing fashion initiatives if reappointed to the Commission on Fashion, Arts and Events.
Tiara Brewer appeared before the Committee on Public Works and Operations for PR26-29, a resolution to reappoint her as a voting member of the Commission on Fashion, Arts and Events with a term ending April 15, 2029. Brewer described a career spanning retail and corporate roles, her Georgetown and New York experience, and local work mentoring designers after returning to the DMV area.
"This is my first time," Brewer said, thanking the committee for the opportunity and describing efforts to create pop-ups and community initiatives that showcase local talent. Chair Councilmember Brianne Nadeau confirmed Brewer's Ward 8 residency and asked standard vetting questions about conflicts of interest and board service; Brewer said she is not currently an officer or director of an organization doing business with District government. The committee took no vote at the hearing; the nomination proceeds through the Council's advice-and-consent process.
