This appointment is set to last until November 7, 2026, and is supported by the legal framework established by the Confirmation Act of 1978 and the Office of Out of School Time Grants and Youth Outcomes Establishment Act of 2016. The Mayor has provided Mr. Eckman's biographical details, emphasizing his qualifications and experience, and is seeking the Council's swift approval of his nomination.
