Leadership elections

Each year the Board of Commissioners elects a Chair and a Chair Pro Tempore to lead meetings, oversee the back office, handle administrative duties, communicate with the Mayor’s office and other stakeholders, and execute other tasks.

In previous years, all commissioners were eligible to serve in these temporary leadership roles. That tradition is now at risk.
