|
Mildred E. Methvin was appointed to the Board of Supervisors for the University of Louisiana System, representing the 3rd Congressional District, effective 1/1/2019 until 12/31/2024. Six weeks after being appointed, her partner suffered a stroke. Ms. Methvin commuted between Lafayette and New Orleans for over two years to oversee her partner's medical care. In the fall of 2020, she purchased a home in New Orleans and was an active member of the ULL System Board. In the spring of 2022, she sold her initial home. On 2/2/2022, Ms. Methvin sent a letter of resignation explaining she would no longer live in the 3rd Congressional District, which she was supposed to represent on the Board. On 5/6/2024, she received a reminder to submit her disclosure. She received an email from the Board assistant to verify completion but did not receive a reminder to file for the 2022 calendar year. Ms. Methvin relocated to Minneapolis in 2/2024 and sold her New Orleans home. She is sure she did not receive the Notice of Delinquency (NOD) on 4/15/2024 but is unsure of the exact date. On 7/15/2024, she received guidance on how to file a waiver.
