Dental Board of California says it selected executive officer in closed session; name to be announced
Summary
The Dental Board of California reported Oct. 3, 2025, that it selected a candidate for the executive officer position during a closed session held under Government Code section 11126(a)(1). The board did not disclose the person's name and said it will be announced later.
The Dental Board of California reported Friday that it selected a candidate for the board's executive officer position during a closed session, President Dr. Steve Chan said at the Oct. 3, 2025, teleconferenced meeting.
“The board selected a candidate for the executive officer position. The name of the candidate will be announced at a later date,” Dr. Steve Chan said during the board's president's report after the meeting reconvened in open session.
The action was taken during a closed session convened under Government Code section 11126, subdivision (a)(1), the board said. That provision of the Government Code permits closed-session discussions for public-employee appointment and personnel matters. The board recessed into closed session earlier in the meeting and then reconvened in open session to report the outcome.
The meeting was held by teleconference with an in-person location disclosed on the posted agenda. The board established a quorum during roll call; members recorded as present in the transcript include Chan, Chang, Jazz Gruel (newly appointed), John Durkin, Deer King, Felsenfeld, Forge, Gray Wall, Lehi, Medina, Olague and You. Dr. Ladeen, identified in the meeting as board secretary, called the roll.
No members of the public addressed items not on the agenda during the public-comment period. The board's public-comment rules, reiterated at the start of the meeting, limited each speaker to two minutes with a 30-second warning and allowed only one comment per agenda item per attendee.
The board did not disclose further details about the selected candidate, including the candidate's name, department assignment or effective start date, saying only that the name would be announced later. The meeting adjourned after the president's report.
