California Physician Assistant Board re-elects president and fills vice president role during Nov. 17 meeting
Summary
At its Nov. 17, 2025 meeting the California Physician Assistant Board conducted officer elections, re-elected its president, and confirmed a vice president; members debated leadership roles and meeting participation prior to the vote.
The California Physician Assistant Board held elections for board officers during its Nov. 17, 2025 meeting in Sacramento, re-electing the sitting president and confirming a vice president in a roll-call vote.
Board President Kidd opened nominations and outlined his qualifications, saying he had practiced as a physician assistant for more than two decades and had experience implementing Senate Bill 697 at an academic medical center. Candidates were given an opportunity to state qualifications before nominations were closed and the board voted by name.
During the discussion several members pressed for clarity on officer roles and participation in executive calls. One member urged that the president and vice president both participate in biweekly executive calls to promote transparency and continuity; President Kidd and other members responded that cadence and participation would be set by the president but committed to improving coordination.
Following roll-call votes, the board congratulated the newly confirmed officers and closed the election portion of the agenda. No contested election irregularities or public comments on the elections were recorded.
