The resolution proposes the appointment of Dr. Bernardine Evans as a licensed physical therapist member of the Board of Rehabilitative Therapies in the District of Columbia, nominated by Mayor Muriel Bowser. This nomination aligns with the Confirmation Act of 1978 and the District of Columbia Health Occupations Revisions Act of 1985, and Dr. Evans is set to fill a new seat on the board for a term of one year upon her confirmation. The resolution requests the Council's prompt consideration of her nomination and provides biographical details that underscore her extensive experience in physical therapy and education.

Dr. Evans currently serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor at Howard University and has held various significant roles, including Program Coordinator for Physical Therapy and Director of Restorative and Rehabilitative Services at Asbury Methodist Village. Her active involvement in professional organizations, research, and community service highlights her expertise in rehabilitative therapies, which will be advantageous to the Board. The legal sufficiency review by the Office of the General Counsel confirms that the nominations are legally unobjectionable, allowing the process to move forward without impediments.
