Two new members were sworn into the Stow City Arts Commission during the meeting. The administering official asked them to "raise your right hand" and repeat an oath to "faithfully, impartially perform the duties as a member of the city of Stowe Arts Commission" and to uphold the constitutions and city charter. The commission recorded the swearing-in as a formal procedural matter.

The new members introduced themselves. One said she is "a photographer, and I'm working on, screenwriting, with the locals here in Akron" and that she joined to "be a part of something." Another member described moving to Stow City two years ago, said her child is now 3 and she wanted to "get involved in some things I felt passionate about." Chair comments welcomed the new members and invited them to participate in upcoming projects and focus groups.

The commission highlighted opportunities for the new members to join subcommittees and focus groups for the city's arts master plan being developed by a consultant. No vote was required for the swearing-in itself; the action proceeded as a standard onboarding step. The commission then moved on to scheduled agenda items.
