Purpose of Board Meetings: To consider meeting minutes, fiscal status of the Board, disciplinary matters, licensure of professional counselors and marriage and family therapists, and other miscellaneous items.  Portions of the meeting to include discussion of licensee disciplinary cases will not be open to the public.  Agenda will be available 3 business days prior to the meeting by contacting the Board office. 


(Please note, the primary purpose for 'telephone' Board meetings is to consider licensure of professional counselors and marriage and family therapists, e.g. 'endorsement' applicants meeting all requirements for licensure, and 'standard' applicants that have completed all requirements, including supervised counseling/therapy practice hour requirements, for licensure.  Other items listed above may be included as needed.)
