Bylaws and Resolutions Committee

The Bylaws and Resolutions Committee proposed amendments to definitions of member board staff and administrators and eligibility for service on the Nominating Committee and the Board of Directors. They forwarded the Mobility resolution with a recommendation of DO PASS. Delegates at the 2017 annual meeting adopted all proposals and the resolution with little to no opposition. Committee chair Brian Carnahan of Ohio and members Carla Moore of Louisiana, Kathy Outland of Oregon, Mark Scales of Nova Scotia, Yvonne Haynes of Virginia, and Joyce Bell of Maryland met by conference call to complete their work.  

Continuing Competence Committee

The Continuing Competence Committee worked closely with the Regulatory Education and Leadership Committee to develop content and expertise for the 2017 Education Conference and worked with the

Mobility Task Force to provide guidance on continuing education and continuing competence requirements in support of the Mobility initiative. The committee also has an ongoing charge to consult with ASWB staff to provide guidance on ASWB’s continuing education approval programs.

Finance Committee

The Finance Committee met at ASWB offices to discuss ASWB’s options for paying for the new headquarters, including loan options. The committee also reviewed the financial impact of recent capital improvements and increases in programs and staff as part of a discussion of exam fees. The committee requested that staff research a potential policy for exam fee increases and investigate how other organizations like ASWB manage fee increases.

Regulatory Education and Leadership Committee

The REAL Committee is charged with developing content for the association’s annual education conference. Unlike other committees with terms on a calendar year, the REAL Committee term begins and ends with the education conference. The 2016-2017 committee planned the 2017 conference, “Beyond CE: Regulating competence in a dynamic profession.”
