I have recently returned from Amsterdam where CLEAR hosted its Fourth International Congress on Professional and Occupational Regulation. It was an honor to welcome 130 professional and occupational regulators from across Europe, North America and Australasia to Amsterdam where we saw first-hand the variety of innovative approaches employed by international colleagues, in our shared mission to protect the public. It is particularly gratifying to serve as CLEAR's president at this time of international expansion and outreach, and to see the organization recognized for its unique role in promoting regulatory excellence across borders, professions and occupations. PowerPoint presentations from the event are available to CLEAR members and we are beginning preparations for a Fifth Congress in Melbourne, Australia in December 2017.
