Board Committees

The Board has established committees to enhance the efficacy, efficiency, and prompt dispatch of duties upon the Board.

Executive Committee

Members of the Executive Committee include the Board’s president and vice-president. As elected officers, this Committee makes interim (between Board meetings) decisions as necessary. This Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board with respect to legislation impacting the Board’s mandate. This Committee also provides guidance to administrative staff for the budgeting and organizational components of the Board and is responsible for directing the fulfillment of recommendations made by legislative oversight committees.

Enforcement Committee

Members of the Enforcement Committee are responsible for the development and review of Board-adopted policies, positions and disciplinary guidelines. Although members of the Enforcement Committee do not typically review individual enforcement cases (if they do they recuse themselves from any further proceedings), they are responsible for policy development of the enforcement program, pursuant to the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA).
