Mayor Muriel Bowser has nominated Charles Bond to serve as a licensed recreational therapist on the Board of Rehabilitative Therapies in the District of Columbia. This nomination aligns with the Confirmation Act of 1978 and the District of Columbia Health Occupations Revisions Act of 1985, and Bond will occupy a new seat on the board for a two-year term following his confirmation. The resolution highlights Bond's extensive experience in therapeutic recreation, particularly his dedication to improving the quality of life for seniors and vulnerable populations, as well as his leadership roles in various health services organizations.

The resolution, titled "Board of Rehabilitative Therapies Charles Bond Confirmation Resolution of 2025," confirms Bond's appointment and mandates that copies be sent to both the nominee and the Office of the Mayor upon adoption. It is set to take effect immediately, reflecting the Council's swift action on the nomination. Bond's qualifications include over forty years of advocacy for recreational therapy, significant contributions to the American Therapeutic Recreation Association, and advanced degrees in psychology and health studies. A legal sufficiency review by the Office of the General Counsel has confirmed that the nominations, including Bond's, are legally unobjectionable, allowing them to proceed without any legal issues.
