Summary

The board discussed governance training, accepted the outgoing chair's request to step down and voted to install a board member surnamed Bailey as the new chair. The audio uses both 'Trey Bailey' and 'Drew Bailey' when referring to the same person; the transcript contains inconsistent first-name references.

During new business the chair said she does not have time to continue in the role and requested to step down. Board members discussed governance training timing and then followed protocol for chair succession and nominations. A board member (S6) nominated Bailey for chair and asked for a second; after discussion the board called the vote and the chair announced the motion passed, installing the member with the surname Bailey as the new chair.

The recording includes inconsistent first-name references for the new chair: the nomination and some speakers referred to "Trey Bailey," while later the chair announced "mister Drew Bailey, you are now chair." Because the meeting audio and transcript differ on the first name, this article uses the surname only for clarity; official minutes or the board’s published roster should be consulted to confirm the person's full given name and spelling.
