Description:
By the end of this 75-minute session, participants will be able to apply core principles of effective regulatory governance to strengthen board decision-making, role clarity, and the board–administrator partnership.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:
1. Differentiate the regulatory role of a licensing board member from professional, clinical, or personal roles, using public protection, statutory authority, and impartial decision-making as guiding principles.
2. Describe the distinct roles and decision-making responsibilities of the full board, board chair, individual board members, administrator, staff, committees, and legal counsel in the governance of a licensing board.
3. Distinguish among statutes, regulations or rules, board policies, and administrative procedures, and identify the appropriate role of the board in each area.
4. Apply effective board governance practices to meetings and deliberations, including agenda discipline, balanced participation, clear motions and direction, constructive management of disagreement, and appropriate communication between meetings.
5. Analyze realistic governance scenarios and identify appropriate actions that support role clarity, public protection, effective board–administrator communication, and sound regulatory decision-making.
