Today, members of the Common Council received the following message from Council President Keith Furman and Council Vice President Jael Currie regarding appointments to the Common Council Executive Committee (CCEC). I have added the duties of the CCEC below the message.

Colleagues,

Jael and I appreciate all the interest in serving on CCEC the upcoming year. We have 5 spots to fill.

As part of our process, we interviewed everyone who applied. Here are the questions we asked:

Please tell us a little bit about yourself and why you are interested in serving on the CCEC.
What is your vision for CCEC? How do you envision building community among the council?
Council leadership is working towards empowering all council members and developing methods for productive conversations. Talk to us about what empowerment & productivity means to you and how you will prioritize these values as a CCEC member.
Please describe the ways you practice and demonstrate equity and inclusion and how you would model these practices in this assignment. Please provide an example of measures you have taken to further your knowledge of racial justice, equity & inclusion.

We had great conversations with everyone who applied.

CCEC's focus this year will be on the council office, engagement, training and conflict resolution process/systems. We are looking to move CCEC to a new day to make it easier for all alders to attend and give meetings more time so they aren't rushed before a council meeting. More information on this move will be shared in the near future.

We'll be appointing the following Alders to CCEC:

Alder Heck
Alder Bennett
Alder Conklin
Alder Figueroa Cole
Alder Foster

The 3 designated spots by ordinance will be:

Council President Furman
VP Currie
Past Council President: Alder Abbas (alternate)

-Jael and Keith
