For that report, we have the May Youth Planner Report, and it will be presented by Henry Godfrey. So we're going to be doing a little bit of something different today. I'm going to keep this one brief because I understand there's a lot on the docket for today. So, with that being said, so May has been a lot of a month that has passed by really fast. You know, it seemed like just yesterday that it was January, but now it is currently May. With that being said, let's go into what the HIPAA-U Commission has done for this month. So one of the first things is Teen Town Hall. You know, stakeholders served as panelists, you know, panel guests like Chief Wideman, Officer Birdsong, and the entirety of the fire department. This gave you the opportunity to be able to collaborate with these panelists and be able to make change within their community and school. And the students were able to feel impacted and heard as well. Moving on to onboarding and recruiting, this is an opportunity to be able to onboard some new commissioners because some of the seniors will be unfortunately leaving for this year. It was a great experience overall. There were some areas that we can grow in, but overall, great experience. No, we were able to interview some new applicants. Some people coming on, asking different questions about their interests with the commission, as well as onboarding the new applicants who completed interviews, and that happened May 18th.
