CLEAR’s recent telephone conversation with the Executive Office of the President of the United States concerning a budget provision, and a Supreme Court ruling involving a State regulatory board and the Federal Trade Commission, illustrate again the scrutiny and attention that is currently being focused upon professional and occupational regulation. It is within the context of these interesting times that seventy CLEAR members met in Charleston, South Carolina to plan the organization’s thirty-fifth annual conference program, and to continue the good work of the many committees involved in the resourcing and equipping of members of the regulatory community. As a result of the tremendous work of all the members of the Program Committee, we have an excellent program with numerous innovations planned for the annual educational conference in Boston. The brochures have been mailed and online registration is now open. I look forward to welcoming you to Boston, where we will meet from September 17-19, 2015.
