Angela Gonzales-Torres’s HHPNC attendance record
February 2023 through June 2025 · Updated October 25, 2026
Approximately 29 months on the Board, February 2, 2023 to June 30, 2025, including approximately 12 months as President, August 3, 2023 to August 1, 2024.
The record lists 23 dates with documented presence, 8 counted absences and 3 unresolved dates. The presences include 3 documented late arrivals.
The three unresolved dates are from 2023; the available agendas do not establish attendance or confirm that those meetings went ahead.
How this relates to the open letter. The letter says she was absent from 7 of 14 Board meetings in the year after her presidency ended, and arrived more than two hours late to two. That counts the 14 meetings from August 1, 2024, when the presidency changed hands, through June 5, 2025: 7 absent, 7 present, including the arrivals of 2 hours 13 minutes and 2 hours 15 minutes late on February 6 and May 1, 2025.

Notes on the count
- July 11, 2024: Counted absent by the authors. The public agenda establishes the meeting date; no public minutes or recording confirming her attendance was located for this date.
- April 6, May 4 and June 1, 2023: Public agendas survive, but attendance, and whether the meetings went ahead, are unconfirmed. An agenda item naming someone is not proof of attendance.
- February 2, 2023: Her appointment meeting is included as presence, not late attendance.
- December 5, 2024: She arrived after the initial call and was present by the restart; the exact arrival time is unconfirmed. She left before the end. The restart counts as one meeting date.
- August 1, 2024 and June 5, 2025: Absence is supported by review of the meeting recordings. The June 5 transcript also repeatedly refers to her as absent.
- Excluded: July 6, 2023 was canceled. January 9, 2025 was a gathering without a quorum and did not proceed with the agenda. Committee meetings are outside this Board attendance record.
