Where the record shows specific movers/seconders, the committee noted them on the record (for example, Andrea Watson frequently moved items; Mikaela/Mikayla frequently seconded). Voice votes were used for the approvals; the meeting transcript records voice‑votes of assent for each passed item but does not provide a roll‑call tally of each member.
CME annual reports and next steps: The committee reviewed the 2024 continuing medical education (CME) annual report list and identified providers that had not submitted annual report statistics or the fee. Members directed staff to send certified letters to those providers and set a 30‑day timeframe for response; the committee noted that the reports had been due July 31 and that staff had sent several reminder emails prior to certified letters.
Administrative notes: Several provider approvals were approved pending receipt of clarifying materials (for example, Blue Valley was approved contingent on bibliography information; Susan B. Allen was tabled pending a sample certificate and roster). The committee recorded that providers sometimes submit incomplete bibliographies or CVs instead of a program bibliography and asked staff to clarify application requirements to reduce resubmissions.
The committee concluded the meeting by confirming staff will prepare outreach letters for non‑responding CNE providers and will return routine approval items and outstanding materials at the June meeting.
