The Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians voted unanimously at its Feb. 7, 2025, meeting in Sacramento to ratify officer terms, accept meeting minutes and approve several program recommendations and admissions requests.
The board approved a motion to adopt two‑year executive officer terms for the board’s chair and vice chair, then elected Carol Mountain as board chair and Abraham Hill as vice chair. All roll‑call votes recorded six affirmative votes (Alita Carpenter; John Dierking; Gloria Gregorio Guzman; Abraham Hill; Leslie Moore; Carol Mountain). The board also approved the minutes from its Nov. 22, 2024, meeting by the same unanimous vote.
The board ratified executive officer program decisions covering the period Oct. 15, 2024, through Dec. 10, 2024. It then approved requests from education consultants and the Nursing Education Consultants (NEC) unit related to program admissions and approval status. Specific program actions recorded in the meeting packet and approved by vote were:
