Brewer on district managers and CEC role
Brewer describes district managers as full-time paid employees responsible for daily operations, complaints, and meetings. She notes the Civic Engagement Commission was created in 2018 to assist community boards, primarily through Zoom trainings.
District managers who are full-time paid employees are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the community boards.
Their duties include processing complaints, presiding over the district service cabinet, and other duties assigned by the board.
District managers are responsible for organizing both committee and full board meetings.
The Civic Engagement Commission created by the 2018 Charter Revision Commission was formed to provide assistance to community boards.
That assistance seemed to come primarily in the form of Zoom trainings.
Designed for community board members with some additional trainings that appear to be designed for the board's executive leadership.
There are past trainings that are available on the CEC's website that have included parliamentary proceedings, the budget, land use and equity planning.
As the board president, just so you know, I did all that, just so you know.
