This resolution concerns the confirmation of Wanda Henderson as a public member of the Commission on African-American Affairs in Washington, D.C. The nomination, made by Mayor Muriel Bowser, is for Henderson to fill a vacant seat with a term ending on July 8, 2028. Henderson is a long-time D.C. resident with over 45 years of experience in the beauty industry and is the owner of Wanda's on Seventh, a salon in the Shaw-Howard Community that has been operating for more than 22 years. She has received several notable awards, including the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award from President Joe Biden and recognition from the United Negro College Fund. The resolution includes a legal sufficiency review by the Office of the General Counsel to the Mayor, which found the nomination to be legally unobjectionable. Henderson, a Ward 1 resident, is expected to bring her community connections and professional experience to the Commission on African-American Affairs.
