The California Board of Registered Nursing convened its Nurse Practitioner Advisory Committee on September 23, 2025, to discuss key agenda items and facilitate public engagement. The meeting, led by co-chairs Samantha Gamble Farr and Dr. Edward Ray, began with a roll call confirming the presence of committee members, including Dr. Andrea Espinosa, Nurse Practitioners Jan Johnson Griffin, Kevin Maxwell, and Sally Pham, as well as public member Betha Schnell.

The meeting's structure emphasized public participation, utilizing the WebEx platform's question and answer feature, also known as Slido, to allow attendees to submit comments. The moderator outlined the process for public comments, stating that each participant would have two minutes to speak, with reminders provided as time approached.

Following the public comment period, the committee moved to review and vote on the minutes from the previous meeting held on March 18, 2025. The minutes were approved without any corrections or comments from the committee members.

The meeting highlighted the Board's commitment to transparency and community involvement, ensuring that public voices are heard in discussions affecting nursing practices in California. The next steps include addressing any additional public comments and continuing to engage with stakeholders in future meetings.
