We had a wonderful time presenting Monday at the pre-conference workshop ahead of the Council on Licensure, Enforcement and Regulation (CLEAR) Annual Education Conference. DSPS Assistant Deputy Secretary Jennifer Garrett (who clearly loves to have her photo taken) joined M. Daniel Roukema and Collette Deschenes from MDR Strategy Group Ltd. We had great conversation and then did a fun project about the benefits of communication, stakeholder engagement, and social media in the regulatory industry.
