Election of Tree Board Chair and Vice Chair
Moved by Laura KD [0:19:35] · Seconded by Nick [0:19:40]
The current Chair, Nick, informed the board of his potential relocation and likely resignation after the March meeting, suggesting a new leadership election. Nominations were then opened for both Chair and Vice Chair positions.
Notable Quotes (1)
I don't feel it would be a good idea to nominate me for chair again, uh, because I will likely have to step down, uh, here before too awful long. And so, I think that it would be better to have someone else fill the leadership position, at least for this year.
