Board reappoints advisory‑committee subcommittee to recommend advisory members
Summary
The board reappointed Dr. Richard Pan and Elizabeth Mitchell to the subcommittee that selects and recommends advisory committee members; staff outlined the solicitation schedule and eligibility criteria.
The board voted to reappoint the existing subcommittee that handles solicitation and selection of advisory committee members. The motion to reappoint Board Members Richard Pan and Elizabeth Mitchell passed by voice vote, 6 ayes, 1 absent.
Staff overview: Megan Brubaker (Engagement and Governance manager) summarized the advisory committee composition and the statutory requirements for membership, including representation from payers, hospitals, medical groups, physicians, organized labor, consumers, health‑care workers and the state’s diversity of geography and demographics. Twelve advisory positions expire June 30; staff will open a public solicitation in February and accept applications through April. The subcommittee will review candidate applications in April–May and recommend appointments at the June board meeting; new or reappointed advisory members would begin in September 2025.
Why it matters: The advisory committee provides technical feedback that staff and the board use in designing metrics and programs. Members and some public commenters emphasized the value of lived experience representatives (patients, caregivers, retirees), small‑business and frontline workforce viewpoints, and the importance of collecting demographic data consistent with federal standards.
What the board decided: Reappoint Pan and Mitchell to the two‑member subcommittee for the current selection cycle. Staff will proceed with the public solicitation and return recommendations to the board in June.
