This resolution is a formal nomination by Mayor Muriel Bowser to reappoint Aza Nedhari to the Maternal Mortality Review Committee (MMRC) for a term ending January 10, 2028. Nedhari, who currently serves as the Founding Executive Director of Mamatoto Village, a perinatal family support organization in Washington, DC, brings over 18 years of experience in youth development, reproductive health, and program management. She holds a Bachelor's degree in African American Studies and Criminal Justice from Temple University and a Master's in Marriage, Couple, and Family Therapy, and is currently pursuing a doctoral degree in organizational leadership. The resolution highlights Nedhari's expertise in promoting health equity, particularly in maternal and child health, and her work in securing Medicaid reimbursement for non-clinical perinatal support services. The nomination follows the Confirmation Act of 1978 and the Maternal Mortality Review Committee Establishment Act of 2018, and includes a legal sufficiency review by the Office of the General Counsel to the Mayor, which found the resolution legally unobjectionable.
