The Boston Planning & Development Agency board last week unanimously voted to elect Priscilla Rojas as board chair.

Appointed by Mayor Martin J. Walsh, Rojas has served on the BPDA board since 2015 and has served as interim chair since December 2019.

“Through many years of dedicated service to her community and to the city of Boston, Priscilla Rojas has shown she is well-qualified to serve as chair of the BPDA Board,” said Mayor Martin Walsh.

“I am pleased to be elected as chair of the BPDA Board, and I want to thank my fellow board members for this honor,” said Rojas.

Monahan is the international vice president of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Second District, overseeing all New England affairs of the 40,000-plus members and over 50 local unions.
