The new Executive Director for LSBEP, Ms. Kelly Parker, assumed her position in April, taking over for Ms. Jaime Monic, who retired April 11. Monic will continue as a consultant.

Ms. Parker has years of experience in the legal field, having worked at the Maryland Attorney General’s Office. “I worked with various Maryland health occupation boards,” she told the Times. “Most recently, I worked in the Criminal Division of the Maryland AG’s Office as a health care fraud analyst handling criminal investigations of health care providers receiving Medicaid funds.” She also noted that in her last position she worked with a variety of health care providers and that she has considerable training in problems facing health care providers and problems of fraud, waste and abuse.

“I have very big shoes to fill,” Kelly said, “and I appreciate all of Jamie’s guidance in my new position.” Ms. Monic will consult to the group for at least a full year, to help with workload and training. “Jacqueline Lively has also been a great asset to me in the past few months,” Kelly also noted. “She is very helpful.” Overall Kelly said, “I am appreciative that I am able to work with such a dynamic Board and such a dynamic group of people.”

“I welcome the opportunity to meet members of the psychologist community,” Kelly said. “If I can be of assistance and/or provide guidance, I encourage licensees to call me. I will help in anyway I can,” she said.

Ms. Parker moved from Maryland with her six-year old daughter.
