System went live November 1 as scheduled. The most common issue was failure to upload supervisory statements.

TOPIC: NBCOT State Regulatory Leadership Forum / State visit
FINDINGS/CONCLUSIONS: As the NBCOT forum is scheduled for April 6-7, 2018, it conflicts with our CE conference.

With regard to scheduling an NBCOT visit with the Board, it was agreed to schedule visit for September Board meeting if possible. The Board would prefer to spend Thursday night in Morgantown to start meeting at 9:00 a.m. to accommodate 60-90 minutes requested by NBCOT.
