Aaron Gonzales chosen vice chair of Joint Sustainability Committee

At a regular meeting on May 21, the Joint Sustainability Committee nominated and approved Aaron Gonzales as vice chair. A committee member (speaker S8) put forward Gonzales’ name for the post; the motion was seconded and approved by assent.

Committee members described the vice chair role as primarily organizational — covering occasional meeting leadership and coordination rather than deep subject-matter expertise. Several members encouraged the vice chair to help strengthen internal coordination between meetings and support outreach and agenda planning.

The chair thanked Gonzales and noted the role’s limited in‑person requirement for the chair position; members welcomed Gonzales’s willingness to step into the position.

Next steps: committee members will work with staff on agenda planning and outreach ahead of the committee’s June meeting.
