Mayor Muriel Bowser has nominated Mr. Stephen Lanning for appointment as a public representative on the Apprenticeship Council, filling a vacant seat previously held by Quenton Horton. This nomination is in accordance with the Confirmation Act of 1978 and aims to enhance the council's representation by including someone who is not affiliated with either employee or employer organizations.

The proposed resolution confirms Mr. Lanning's appointment for the remainder of an unexpired term ending on November 19, 2026. The Council of the District of Columbia is urged to consider this nomination promptly, and upon adoption of the resolution, a copy will be transmitted to both the nominee and the Office of the Mayor. The resolution is set to take effect immediately following its adoption.
