It was great to see what other boards are doing.
I was very interested in the discussion regarding Board Immunity, especially the personal account of one of the attendees. It sure was an eye opener as to what can happen. I also appreciated learning more about the interstate license compacts.
Better communication is needed between state boards.
The personal experiences of other pods involving litigation scenarios; excellent summaries of the Compacts and new protections being put in place to prevent counter lawsuits against board members.
Informed the state boards of what the goal and mission is of the FPMB.
