BRN Impact Committee asks staff to schedule subcommittee meetings; motion carries
Summary
Committee voted to ask BRN staff to assist in scheduling subcommittee meetings after members reported difficulty coordinating outside of full meetings. Motion passed on recorded roll call.
The Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) Impact Committee voted to request BRN staff assistance in scheduling meetings for the panel’s subcommittees after several members said they had trouble connecting and lacked contact information for other subcommittee members.
Committee members said limited intermember contact and inconsistent responsiveness had hampered subcommittee work. Dr. Edward Ray proposed asking BRN staff to convene 30‑minute subcommittee calls, with staff and committee leadership facilitating scheduling. A member seconded the motion.
Samantha Gamble, committee chair, called for a roll-call vote. The recorded votes in the transcript were: Dr. Edward Ray — yes; Dr. Andrea Espinosa — yes; Jan Johnson Griffin — yes; Kevin Maxwell — yes; NP Sally Pham — yes; Samantha Gamble — yes. Public member Betha Schnell was present but not able to record a vote on the call and was counted as abstaining in the transcript. The chair confirmed a majority in favor and declared the motion carried.
The committee did not make the scheduling itself but directed BRN staff to assist: staff agreed to coordinate outreach, but asked committee members to respond to scheduling requests so meetings can be arranged. The vote was recorded as an approval with staff following up to set meeting times.
Ending
The committee moved on to a discussion of regulatory text for SB1451 after the motion carried. Committee members were encouraged to respond to scheduling outreach so subcommittees can meet before the next full advisory meeting.
