Mr. Gaylord Z. Thomas, Executive Director, gave his report as follows:
- WELCOME NAB CEO & PRESIDENT, RANDY LINDNER: First, I want to take a minute to re-welcome Randy Lindner to Oklahoma. That being said, I intend to keep my report brief so we have more time for Randy’s presentation before we go to lunch. I’m also looking forward to his discussion tomorrow with the colleges and universities who have expressed an interest in NAB’s Accreditation process and will be here tomorrow for that.
- CE AUDITS: All CE Audits are now complete. We did have one NHA with a shortage of CE, along with one RCAL administrator and two Adult Day Care Administrators. In most of those cases, we expect to use the “standard” penalty provided by our rules, but we should see at least one of them come forward in the form of an “Agree Order” that will differ from the standard. Because it differs, it will require Board approval. Hope to have that in front of you at next month’s meeting.
- UPCOMING EVENTS/DATES:
Next Board Meetings –May 27, June 24
Last Day of Class for AU: May 28
NAB Annual Meeting – June 3-5 (Philadelphia)
Mr. Randy Lindner, President and CEO of the National Association of Long Term Care Administrator Board gave a presentation to the Board informing them of the NAB’s Mission, their strategic goals, and their future direction, etc. The Board was delighted that Mr. Lindner took the time to come and share with them. Discussion followed.
The meeting adjourned at 11:55 am.
Respectfully Submitted,
