This resolution confirms the nomination of Brenda Donald to serve as a member of the Board of Library Trustees for the District of Columbia, filling a vacant seat for a term ending January 5, 2029. Ms. Donald is a highly experienced public sector professional with over 30 years of senior management experience, having previously served in key roles for three DC mayors, including as Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services, Director of the Child and Family Services Agency, and most recently as Executive Director of the DC Housing Authority. Her extensive background includes leading significant reforms in child welfare, housing, and human services, with notable achievements such as reducing the foster care population, clearing budget deficits at the DC Housing Authority, and ending a long-standing class action lawsuit in child welfare services. A Ward 4 resident with a Master of Public Administration from the University of Arkansas and a Bachelor's in Communications from George Washington University, Donald brings a wealth of expertise to the Library Trustees position. The resolution includes a legal sufficiency review from the Office of the General Counsel to the Mayor, which found the nomination legally unobjectionable, thus recommending her confirmation to the Board of Library Trustees.
