Board of Marital and Family Therapy is staffed by the
Division of Corporation and Professional Licensing. The
board consists of three marital and family therapists
and two public members. Board members are appointed
by the governor and confirmed by the legislature.
The
board adopts regulations to carry out laws governing
the practice of marital and family therapy in Alaska.
It makes final licensing decisions and takes disciplinary
actions against people who violate licensing laws.
The
board meets at least once a year and offers a public
comment period at each meeting. Meeting agendas are
available
