8 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: ANGELA THOMPSON-ROCKETT <br />CC: DONNA BAKER <br />FROM: JENNIFER GALASSI <br />DATE: JUNE 16, 2008 <br />RE: REAPPOINTMENT OF THELMA PERKINS <br />Thelma Perkins term of membership is set to expire on June 30, 2008. The Commission <br />for Woinen would lilce Ms. Perkins to continue to serve as a member. <br />Due to a misunderstanding, Ms. Perkins, perhaps as a result of Ms. Perlcins's advanced <br />age (she is 92 years old), believed that she had received a leave of absence from the Commission <br />for a period of one year. The leave of absence, however, was for a period of six months. Despite <br />communicating this fact to Ms. Perkns, the circumstances that conflicted with her ability to <br />atterid Commission meetings continued until last month and prohibited her from attending <br />Commission meetings. <br />Ms. Perkns has expressed her desire to continue to serve as a member of the Commission <br />for Women. Ms. Perkns further stated her ability to attend future meetings of the Commission. <br />The Commission for Wornen would benefit greatly from her ability to serve a second term and <br />therefore, respectfully requests that she be allowed to do so. <br />FP/jag <br />xc: Shoshannah Smith, Director <br />
