Rebecca confirmed as Phoenix-Talent SD 4 board chair for 2026–27
Summary
Board members nominated multiple candidates and confirmed Rebecca as board chair for 2026–27 by voice confirmation; Diane was confirmed as vice chair. The nominations included an absent nominee and some declinations before the board coalesced around Rebecca.
Board members opened the meeting by nominating candidates for board leadership and confirmed Rebecca as board chair for the 2026–27 term by voice vote.
During the nominations, one member moved to appoint Rick Nagel, a nomination that drew laughter when members noted the nominee was not present and appeared not to want the role. "We have nominated a person who's not here and someone who doesn't want it," the presiding officer said. After several nominations and a call for affirmation, the presiding officer asked members to confirm Rebecca; multiple members said "yes." The board also confirmed Diane as vice chair by voice.
The nominations occurred without a formal roll-call tally for the chair election; the motion to approve the consent agenda later in the meeting and the two formal resolutions that followed were recorded separately. The board moved on to the agenda after the leadership confirmations.
