How many times per year must the board hold regular meetings at minimum?

• A. Twice (2x/year)
• B. Once
• C. Three times
• D. Four times

Answer: (A)

Regular governance requires at least two scheduled meetings each year. The board’s enabling statute and bylaws set this minimum to ensure ongoing oversight, timely decision-making, and public accountability across licensure actions, rulemaking, and other essential duties. Because two meetings are required, scheduling only once a year wouldn’t meet the mandate. Holding three or four times a year is allowed, but those options simply exceed the minimum, which is two.
