Megan Green has been sworn in as the President of the Board of Aldermen, making history as the first woman to hold the position.

And another first — the three-member Board of Estimate and Apportionment is made up entirely of women. Mayor Tishaura Jones, Comptroller Darlene Green, and now, Aldermanic Board President Megan Green.


Though Green's term is only five months, she has a lot she hopes to accomplish.

"I approach my service with hope and with a sense of great urgency," Green said in a speech. "As we all know our community has its fair share of challenges. But I look at every challenge as an opportunity to do something important — faster, fairer, more effectively."

Green said one of those challenges will be preparing the Board of Aldermen as they reduce from 28 to 14 wards.
