Discussion followed.

Ms. Jacki Millspaugh, Chair of the Personnel Committee, informed the Board that the Annual Evaluation of the Executive Director, Mr. Gaylord Z. Thomas, was incomplete at this time and that we extend this item until the next Board meeting. Discussion followed.

Mr. Gaylord Z. Thomas led the review and discussion regarding the Executive Director’s report as follows:

  1. CEU AUDIT UPDATE: All 3 of the administrators with short CEU audits accepted the standard penalty prescribed in rule. As soon as we get the AG Anti-Trust completed on those, we will serve them and they will be complete. That was two NHAs and one RC administrator.
  1. RULES UPDATE: We filed everything immediately after the last Board meeting and we have received back the “red marked pages” (little things that need to be “fixed” in them before they’re published; mostly formatting issues – spacing and smart quotes are the big culprits).
  1. SUNSET REVIEW UPDATE: At the last meeting I reported that the bill had passed in the House. It has now also passed through the Senate Committee but with a change – the Senate wants to see all of these agencies once in every Senator’s term so they’re making those Sunsets every 4 years instead of every 6, so our next expiration date will be 2022 instead of 2024. That edit, however, means it has to go back to the House for another vote, so it’s not over.
  1. NAB UPDATE: Following our discussion at the last meeting, NAB has agreed to attend our June meeting to help educate everyone about the exams – primarily the RCAL Exam.
  1. UPCOMING EVENTS/DATES:

Next Board Meetings – May 16, June 27

NAB Annual Meeting – June 6-8 (NAB Funded)

The meeting adjourned at 10:40 am.

Respectfully Submitted,

MS. NANCY POTEETE, SEC-TREASURER
