LAAC elects Alan Hoops chair and Warren (Cory) Gallo secretary; members discuss Snipes residency
Alan Hoops was elected chair of the Mississippi Landscape Architecture Advisory Committee and Warren (Cory) Gallo was elected secretary during the committee’s Jan. 21 meeting in Ridgeland.

The motion to elect Hoops as chair and Gallo as secretary was made by Jon Milstead and seconded by Warren (Cory) Gallo; the motion passed unanimously. The committee roster listed four members present: Warren (Cory) Gallo, Alan Hoops, Robert Mercier (attending by videoconference) and Jon Milstead.

John Cothron, the committee’s executive director, reported that Brantley Snipes, the current secretary, had inquired about whether her residency status affects her eligibility to continue serving on the LAAC. Committee members said it would be acceptable for Snipes to remain on the advisory committee if she is willing and able to participate.
