Re:Recommendations for Appointment to the California Practitioners Advisory Group

Over 130 applications were submitted for consideration of the 2016–17 California Practitioners Advisory Group (CPAG). Screening Committee members Ilene Straus and Feliza Ortiz-Licon met with me on March 2 and 4 to review the applicants and select finalists. The committee identified 17 candidates for consideration by the board. The candidates are listed on the attachment.The Screening Committee also recommends that the SBE approve JoAnn Isken to serve as Chair and Ed Manansala to serve as Vice Chair of the CPAG.
