Economic development committee selects a vice chair as members warn of quorum problems

Vanessa Roptopoulos, the committee chair, proposed a vice chair to support meeting continuity and outreach; members agreed to name Rohan (speaker labeled '2') as vice chair. "Rohan would love to be the vice chair," Roptopoulos said during introductions and the group confirmed the selection by vocal assent.

The committee discussed attendance problems and the risk of losing quorum if absent members continued not to show. Roptopoulos reminded the group that board membership requires an application through the borough president’s office and that repeated nonattendance could trigger consideration of early removal. The chair set next steps for the vice chair to help run meetings, collect contact information and lead planning for upcoming events.
