Sounding Board Committee

Mission Summary

The Sounding Board committee provides LSRPA members with a sounding board for questions or concerns that do not have a clear-cut solution found in regulation or guidance. The committee will also offer peer-to-peer discussion with members that are approaching a new subject or territory that they are not familiar with.  The committee consultation will be based on the experiences of the committee members in similar situations, generally delivered within a short time-frame, and will be verbal and non-binding. The goal is to provide members with a benefit derived from multiple viewpoints that is not currently available to the LSRP community.
