Mr. Gaylord Z. Thomas, Executive Director, gave his report as follows:

1. CONFERENCE ROOM EXPANSION UPDATE: I’ve not received an update in awhile. I’m aware they are trying to figure out ways to trim their costs and are re-bidding the project. Other than that, I honestly don’t know a lot. There was a meeting (we hosted it in our conference room) with the OMES leasing office and Shepherd Mall tenants and it was pretty clear there are a lot of issues in the mall at the moment with other tenants and it’s not clear to me it that will work in our favor (wanting to please us) or against us (more pressing issues with other tenants taking their attention). But, we’re continuing to push on this.

2. NAB MEETING AND ELECTIONS: As you’re aware, I was elected Secretary of NAB at the Annual Meeting in Cleveland earlier this month. I am very thankful for the Board’s continuing support allowing me to have represented our Board at NAB and look forward to my term in this capacity on the Executive Committee. My travel with NAB is paid for by NAB and has been for the last 4 years as the chair of a committee. We have been viewing my travel with NAB as “essential” travel as it directly relates to our mission, particularly with the current pending changes to add examinations for the Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) administrators’ line of service and the Health Services Executive (HSE) qualifications that are being finalized. I expect that view of my travel would not change. There is a lot going on with NAB to include the additional HCBS exam and the HSE qualification/credential being rolled out in the near future as well as their joint project with the American College of Health Care Administrators (ACHCA or “the college”) to attempt to standardize the AIT experience and to provide online Preceptor Training as well. Coincidentally, the main tool being employed to standardize the AIT experience is essentially the self-assessment tool we’ve been using for the last several years, but in a different format (fillable pdf). Discussion followed.

3. UPCOMING EVENTS/DATES:

Next Board Meetings – (no meeting in July) – August 17th (3rd Wednesday in August)
NAB Review Seminar (Joe Townsend) – July 25th and 26th

Next AU class begins – Thursday, August 4th

Respectfully Submitted,

MS. NANCY POTEETE, SEC-TREASURER
