As my term as CLEAR’s president draws to a close, I look back with pride on our organization’s accomplishments over the past year. At a time when the role and value of professional and occupational regulation is being closely scrutinized, it has been my pleasure to lead the organization in its pursuit of regulatory excellence, for the benefit of the public we ultimately serve. Central to our mission are the CLEAR Learning educational programs that equip us to better protect the public with efficiency and effectiveness. Over the course of the past year, CLEAR has trained over 1,000 regulatory stakeholders, representing numerous jurisdictions, professions and occupations. Recognizing that the opportunity to travel to CLEAR’s educational events can sometimes be limited, we have brought more educational programming to you, whether in the form of National Certified Investigator and Inspector Training Programs offered in 12 locations, Board Member Training programs offered in five cities or one-day symposia delivered in three North American cities. As we plan for 2015–16, we will continue to move in this direction, and welcome additional invitations from host jurisdictions and organizations.
