Washington State Bar Foundation board approves Citi Ganguli as trustee

The Washington State Bar Foundation's board of governors approved Citi Ganguli as a new member of the foundation's board of trustees and as a WSBA member during a special meeting.

Brian Anderson, referred to in the transcript as Chair and President, introduced an updated board-of-trustees roster and asked the board to approve the nomination. "I ask you to approve this new member, Citi Ganguli, as a new member of the board of trustees and as a WSBA member," Anderson said.

A motion to approve the nomination was made by Ki (first name only in the transcript) and seconded by Mary Rothbone (role not specified in the transcript). The chair called for a voice vote; a member expressed assent and the chair reported no opposition in the room and none online. The chair then declared the motion passed.

The transcript records only the nomination, the motion and the voice vote; it does not include roll-call vote counts or additional discussion about the nominee. No statutes, ordinances, or other authorities were cited in the excerpt.

The board had earlier noted a third reading of a proposed amendment to WSBA bylaws on political activities submitted by the governor's committee, but the excerpt contains only the announcement of that agenda item and no substantive debate or vote on the amendment.

The appointment takes effect according to the foundation's rules; the transcript excerpt does not specify an effective date or further procedural steps.
