CHAIR REPORT

Board Member Orientation Training

Dr. Stanfield, D.C. referred to Exhibit C, New Board Member Orientation that is coming up in Sacramento on January 24, 2007. She commented that the training is very informative and provides a better understanding of the process and duties of a Board member. Dr. Stanfield, D. C. encouraged all Board members to attend this training.

Proposed Board meeting dates for 2007

Dr. Stanfield, D.C. referred to Exhibit D, proposed Board meeting dates for 2007 and asked for comments from the Board members. Judge Duvaras suggested that the January 18, 2007, meeting be in Sacramento because he understood that the Governor was going to make appointments to vacancies. He stated that the new appointments will be located here and the headquarters of the organization is here in Sacramento, which will necessitate looking at records and since the headquarters is here it would be more convenient than having the records transported all the way down to Los Angeles. He recommended that the meeting be alternated with the Los Angeles meeting in April 2007. It was agreed that the meeting location would be changed to Sacramento.

Dr. George Casey, D.C. representing Life West stated that Dr. Clum would formally like to invite the Board to hold a meeting at their campus. Dr. Yoshida, D.C. asked what the feasibility would be to have the Los Angeles meeting at either Southern California University or Cleveland College.
