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.

The LSRPA Sounding Board Committee announces year two of the LSRPA Sounding Board Associate Member Program. The Sounding Board was created for members of the LSRPA over 10 years ago and has answered hundreds of questions from LSRPA Members.
 
The purpose of the Sounding Board Associate Member Program is to introduce and mentor new LSRPs to the LSRPA Sounding Board process. The Associate Member Program will allow LSRPs with 3-6  years of experience to observe and learn from veteran Sounding Board professionals. The Associate will become a non-voting Sounding Board member for a period of 1 year.
 
If you are an LSRPA Member with 3-6 years of experience and want to participate in the Sounding Board Associate Member Program, please email an expression of interest and your resume to Dudley Warner, [email protected], for consideration by January 27, 2025.
