From the president
This year's theme, Honoring our roots. Growing our future, speaks to something important: how the foundations we've built over decades continue to guide us as we navigate an evolving landscape. The conversations we'll have will help us explore how CLARB has shaped effective regulation and how we are growing into the future together.
I'm making the journey from New Mexico because I believe these face-to-face connections are invaluable for our friendly community. Whether you're a seasoned regulator or new to the field, your voice contributes to the collective wisdom that makes our annual meeting so meaningful.
This year we'll dig into the pressing challenges facing regulators today. From enforcement modernization and licensure defense to artificial intelligence in practice and regulatory reform, I hope you and your colleagues will be part of this important dialogue.
I look forward to seeing you in Calgary!
