Last But Not Least… Elections ◦ President-elect ◦ Treasurer Networking Opportunities

Boards are Created for a Purpose Licensing and regulatory boards are created for the express purpose of protecting the public by regulating the profession. Boards and commissions perform this two-fold function by: reviewing applications for licensure to ensure minimal professional competence and fitness for licensure investigating allegations of misconduct on the part of licensees, and if necessary, conducting contested case hearings to determine whether there has been misconduct

Purpose of Board The bottom line for a board or commission, when reviewing a license application, is whether the applicant, if licensed, puts the public at unacceptable risk.

Licensing Boards Wield all 3 Governmental Powers Judicial role - interprets its practice act and rules, convenes contested case hearings, acts as fact finder at those hearings, issues Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, and, ultimately, issues final Orders in those hearings.

Other Governmental Powers Legislative role - promulgates rules and regulations for the board, which have the effect of law once properly promulgated. Executive governmental role - determines qualification for licensure and continued licensure, investigates complaints and prosecutes cases involving discipline of licensees, and enforces the practice act and board rules and regulations.

Introduction to Being a Board Member Congratulations on being recognized by your state as someone who is competent, ethical, and cares about the profession of counseling Know your state’s licensing statute and the rules and regulations Assist in organizing the board for maximum effectiveness (meetings, procedures, performance goals and requirements for members)

Being a Board Member Manage fiscal needs (fee schedule per statute) Establish a public relations program to educate public and licensees about state regulations for the profession, and increasing their knowledge of the complaint process Consistently analyze the impact of your board Identify statutory or regularity changes needed to accomplish your board’s mission; take action

Characteristics of Effective Board Members Strong ethical competence Good communication skills Good team decision-making skills Understand the democratic process Willing to devote the time

More Characteristics Works to find alternative solutions Understands the ultimate responsibility…protect the public Respects the vote of the majority Doesn’t allow personal feelings toward others affect decisions

Helpful Tips The board speaks as one All issues should be discussed by the entire board Do not give an opinion for the whole board Avoid any type of discussion about applications, advice, or possible interpretation outside of the board setting “I would love to help, but I am prohibited from discussing board matters outside of the board meeting. Here is the contact information for the board”

More tips Review your state’s parliamentary procedures  Robert’s Rules? Speak up at meetings Review the meeting packet prior to the meeting Understand travel reimbursement policies
