Wendy Parrish is currently employed as the Executive Director. Ms. Parrish intends to retire prior to the end of 2019. Dr. Corley asks whether the La. Board of Veterinary Medicine can contract with Ms. Parrish following her retirement on a part-time, as-needed basis to continue to assist in particular areas until the incoming executive director is fully trained.
