Subject: RE: OCAC Board Members With Terms Expirint 3/31/14
Importance: High
Hi Thom,
I've heard back from Ashley Nissier, Devra Thomas, and Geoffrey Hathaway. They all want to seek possible
reappointment by the BOCC to another term on the Arts Commission board. Please go ahead and put their names on
the BOCC's March lWh agenda for possible reappointment.
Have not yet heard back from Chris Wehrman. As soon as he notifies me of his intentions, I'll let you know.
I realize that Gordon Jameson will have to sit out 1 year before he can be appointed to another term (if he wants to do
so at that time).
Will keep you posted RE: Chris Wehrman.
Thanks so much for all your help!
