A Loss at the Nursing Board

Tuesday, June 10 was the last day of work at the Texas Nursing Board for Joy Sparks, Assistant General Counsel. This is a big loss for the Board. Ms. Sparks is a smart and professional attorney. Although she did not have medical knowledge prior to working at the BON, she picked up on issues very quickly. I always found her to be responsive to requests and willing to consider "our side" of the story. She spent many years at the Board and is now moving to another area of administrative law. Her new agency is very lucky and she will be missed.
