Three months from now, CLEAR will be holding its 28th annual conference in Anchorage, Alaska. Attendees from more than 20 professions and 22 jurisdictions have already registered for what will be a valuable and memorable event. It will cap an exciting year for me as president and for the organization more broadly. Since my last column, I attended the World Health Professions Conference on Regulation in Geneva, with over 400 attendees from more than 60 nations. It was an honor to truly feel part of a global community of regulators and to see the vital work of public protection that is occurring across the world. CLEAR presented a poster display at the conference and CLEAR’s Executive Director, Adam Parfitt, and I had an opportunity to showcase all that the organization has to offer, as well as to promote the International Congress on Professional and Occupational Regulation, which CLEAR will host in Dublin, Ireland on July 2-3, 2009. Registration will soon open for this event and additional information will be sent to all list serve subscribers shortly. For those of you who were unable to attend the event in Geneva, you may be interested in reviewing the presentations which are now accessible online.
