Dr. Greg Gormanous has resigned from his position as the new Executive Director of the Louisiana State Board of Examiners of Psychologists (LSBEP). Gormanous assumed the role only a few months ago.
While no formal announcement appears to have been made, several sources confirm that Ms. Jaime Monic has returned to the Executive Director position. Monic left in 2010 in order to spend additional time with her three sons and to enjoy other family duties, she had told the Times previously.
Dr. Gormanous replaced Ms. Kelly Parker, who left the position in July but who has continued on as Operations Director and as a consultant in disciplinary matters.
Dr. Gormanous is retired Chair of the Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences at LSU Alexandria. He has served as President of the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB), and as the President and Vice-President of the Federation of Associations of Regulatory Boards, among many other accomplishments.
Sources report that he stepped down due to administrative challenges in the agency, but Dr. Gormanous could not be reached for comment or to confirm or disconfirm this idea.
Ms. Jaime Monic began working with the LSBEP in 2000 under the directorship of Brenda Ward, who was the Executive Director from 1990 to 2006.
Community members have noted several problems at the board. One of these is that some licensee holders report that they have not received their licenses.
