Applicant for trustee seat asks mayor’s office for update; president to follow up
Summary
Applicant Ethel Conroy told the Washington Public Library trustees she submitted an application for a board seat but received no response; President Rosemarie Rosati said she will follow up with the mayor's office. The Business Administrator said the mayor intended to review applications and urged considering volunteers.
Ethel Conroy, participating by Zoom, told the Board of Trustees that she had submitted an application for a vacant trustee seat but had not received confirmation or a response about its status. Kevin Noone asked whether the application had been rejected; Conroy said she was unsure.
President Rosemarie Rosati said no formal response had been received from the mayor's office and that she would follow up. The Business Administrator said the mayor intended to review the applications and emphasized that "a volunteer is a volunteer," urging that individuals willing to serve be considered. The board currently has two open seats, Rosati noted.
The exchange occurred during the public comment portion of the Feb. 26 meeting; no formal action was taken at the meeting to appoint or reject any applicant. Rosati did not give a timeline for the mayor's review; the record indicates she planned another inquiry to the mayor's office.
