Panel seeks larger‑firm members and clarifies peer‑review eligibility amid turnover
Summary
With several members leaving, the committee asked staff to vet a list of roughly 42 interested candidates for larger‑firm and I‑5 corridor representation and discussed whether OAR language about peer‑review eligibility needs clarification or a new handbook for members.
Brenda Bartlett said the committee is losing members and needs to recruit to ensure a cross‑section of the state and restore larger‑firm representation. "I feel like we need some of the bigger firms, and they're usually located in the I‑5 corridor," Bartlett said, and asked staff to vet the list of about 42 people who checked interest in committees.
Martin Picioni said staff will identify candidates that meet the committee’s criteria and confirm whether those people are still interested before forwarding names to the board chair for appointment. Hailey Lines read the OAR eligibility language and members debated whether the rule requires active peer‑review practice or merely peer‑review qualification; the committee agreed to memorialize guidance for new members and consider rule tweaks as part of an upcoming rulemaking package.
