As we moved into the New Year, we welcomed a new employee, moved to a new office and became a College under the Health Professions Act. I would like to thank everyone – the staff, the Registrar, past Chairs, past and present Board members as well as the many registrants who serve the Board in other capacities, for sharing their experience and providing guidance as I learn to steer this ship. Once a Board member always a Board member – it never leaves you. The recent expansion in the scope of practice is a responsibility not to be taken lightly.
