Before the meeting convened, Bulloch County Probate Judge Lorna Deloach presided over the swearing-in ceremony for new Board members Elizabeth Williams of District 2 and Donna Clifton of District 4. Returning members Glennera Martin of District 5 and Jay Cook of District 6, who were re-elected in May, were also sworn in for their third terms of office.
