The Board of Registered Nursing’s Nurse Practitioner Advisory Committee approved prior minutes, set its 2026 meeting dates and re-elected its leadership at the Sept. 24 meeting.

The committee voted to approve the March 18, 2025 minutes (roll-call votes recorded as “yes” from Samantha Gamble Farr; Edward Ray; Andrea Espinosa; Jan Johnson Griffin; Sally Pham; Kevin Maxwell; and Betha Schnell). The committee then voted to hold its 2026 advisory meetings on April 28, 2026, and Oct. 20, 2026. The motion to adopt those dates passed on a roll-call vote with the same membership voting “yes.”

On the annual leadership item, the committee received nominations and voted to reappoint Samantha Gamble Farr as chair and Edward Ray as vice chair. The committee moved and seconded the motion to appoint the two officers; roll-call votes recorded members voting in favor. Members commented that the current leadership had guided the committee through several recent transitions and that both leaders were willing to continue while remaining open to other nominees.

These items were processed as routine business; each was opened for public comment during the meeting and no public speakers registered comments on those specific motions.
