Branson board of aldermen to swear in new member on Tuesday By Brenda Meadows Staff Writer Julia King will be sworn in and take her seat as Branson’s newest member of its Board of Aldermen in during its regular board meeting on Tuesday, August 25.

Since McConnell moved from the ward he represented, he was no longer qualified to represent it.

King, Senior Consultant / Project Manager at HPG, Healthcare Performace Group, was appointed after Mayor Akers selected her name from a list of applicants, in accordance with a state statute.
