1. CONFERENCE ROOM EXPANSION UPDATE: We have floor plans and it is moving forward. We still do not have a date when they’re going to start or when it will be finished but it’s progressing and will become a reality.

2. NAB CONFERENCE CALL: Tomorrow, March 24 – TWO opportunities – approximately one hour; one occurs at 10 am Central Time and the other at 3 pm Central Time. One of the topics of discussion will be the HSE Implementation, as well as discussions about the upcoming annual meeting in Cleveland in June.

3. OAHCP/OKALA CONFERENCE: I will be making 2 presentations at the OAHCP/OKALA Conference in April and there is time on the agenda for a panel of Board members to also take questions. I will be “on the hook” from about 2 pm until 5:30 that day.

a. My two (2) one (1) hour sessions are designed for NHA and RCAL administrators specifically, but separately, addressing the most common things that get administrators referred to the Board as well as attempting to dispel “myths” about the Board’s rules and regulations.

b. The panel discussion is supposed to address the Board’s mission statement, vision statement and core values. Sounds like they’d like some sort of brief presentation, but it does say there will be an opportunity for questions (pre-submitted). The Board agreed to this several months ago so now I need to know who is volunteering to participate in this panel (Tuesday, April 26th – 4:30 to 5:30).

Mr. Bill Pierce and Dr. Scott Calhoon agreed to be part of the panel discussion.
