This resolution confirms the nomination of Rachel Mackey to serve as a representative from an organization providing services to secondary victims of homicide or suicide on the Violence Fatality Review Committee (VFRC). Specifically, Mackey will fill a vacant seat previously held by Clayton Rosenberg for the remainder of an unexpired term ending October 12, 2025, and then for a subsequent term ending October 12, 2028. Mackey is a highly qualified candidate with a Bachelor of Science in Mortuary Science from the University of Minnesota and an anticipated Master of Science in Tanatology from Marian University, as well as extensive professional experience as a funeral director and managing partner at Everly Funeral Home & Cremation Services. Her background includes managing funeral home operations, coordinating services, and working closely with families during difficult times. She is also actively involved in professional organizations like the National Funeral Directors Association and has volunteer experience on various committees related to funeral services. The resolution includes a legal sufficiency review from the Office of the General Counsel to the Mayor, which found the nomination legally unobjectionable, and represents Mayor Muriel Bowser's formal recommendation to the DC Council for Mackey's confirmation to the VFRC.
