For the first time in St.
Louis history, the president of the Board of Aldermen is on maternity leave.
Megan Green began her scheduled time off Thursday.
She is the first woman to be elected to the office.
Third Ward Alderman Shane Cohn, the board’s vice president, will serve as acting president until she returns.
Cohn said in a statement posted on Facebook that he was honored to step into the president’s seat.
“I’m committed to keeping the work of the Board moving forward—focused on delivering for our neighborhoods, strengthening city services, and continuing the progress we’ve made together,” he said.
“As St.
Louis keeps moving, I’m ready to serve in this role with the same dedication and collaboration you expect.”
Green’s staff will provide procedural and logistics support to Cohn and will continue to work to advance her policy agenda.
A post on Green’s official Facebook page said, “We’re grateful for her leadership and look forward to welcoming her back when she’s ready.”
