Table Talk: Riptides in regulation
1.5 CE credits
Moderator
Doc Davis, REAL Committee
Description
Regulators need to be nimble like surfers prepared for unexpected riptides. When regulators are flexible and well-prepared, they can be ready to manage when challenges arise unexpectedly. Participants will develop effective action plans for specific jurisdictions by networking with other regulators about topics they selected when registering. They will also have an opportunity to make recommendations to ASWB and identify ways ASWB can help.
Learning Objectives
After completing this session, participants should be able to:
- Identify the risks, threats, and opportunities associated with changing regulation or board processes.
- Make an action plan using informed collaboration.
- Make recommendations and/or provide ASWB feedback about support needed when making changes.
