Little Rock Mayor Frank Scott Jr. on Friday evening named about 100 people who will serve on one of eight subcommittees that will help set an agenda for his time in office.
More than 500 people submitted applications for positions via Scott’s campaign website. The weeklong application period closed Jan. 14.
Subcommittee members were chosen based on experience related to each group’s subject matter, qualifications, desire to serve, diversity and ward representation, a news release from Scott’s transition team states. The groups will meet weekly until March 15.
Scott named the subcommittees’ chairs from among his transition board of directors earlier this month.
Notable subcommittee members named Friday include the state’s 2019 Teacher of the Year Stacy McAdoo and former state Rep. Clarke Tucker (D-Little Rock), who challenged U.S. Rep. French Hill in November.
Each group will present recommendations to the 11-member transition board, which will produce a final report to Scott. Scott has said that he plans to have that process completed before delivering his State of the City address.
