Ms. James was recommended by a member of the HA Board and attended the meeting of the HA Board, Monday, August 31st where it was the consensus of the members to have her appointed to the HA Board for the resident member seat. It has taken a while to find a resident of the HCV Program that was committed to serving on the HA Board. This seat on the HA Board has been vacant for some time, but must be filled by a HCV Program resident. Ms. James expressed great interest in serving and the HA Board is excited at having her appointed as a resident member of the Board. If possible, we ask that Ms. James application be submitted for BOCC approval at the next BOCC meeting for consideration of appointments. Please let me know if you have any questions, or if you need any additional information. Thanks.
