Background
Health and Safety Code Section 40501.1(b) requires the AQMD to appoint a Hearing Board Advisory Committee composed of one representative appointed by each of the Counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino, and the City of Los Angeles. The following individuals, with a variety of professional experience, served on the Advisory Committee for this recruitment. They are:
| City of Los Angeles | Detrich B. Allen, General Manager, Environmental Affairs Dept., City of Los Angeles |
| County of Los Angeles | Robert A. Wyman, Attorney at Law Latham & Watkins LLP |
| County of Orange | Lucy Dunn, President/CEO, Orange County Business Council |
| County of Riverside | A. Norton Younglove, former AQMD Governing Board Member, Chairman Emeritus |
| County of San Bernardino | Albert Arteaga, M.D. LaSalle Medical Associates |
Based on the attached criteria, the Advisory Committee members and the AQMD Health Effects Officer evaluated the letters and resumes submitted; and the individuals were ranked and grouped according to their scores. Based on the ranking, the Committee then narrowed the candidates to the following short list of candidates who were invited for interviews.
M. Michael Glovsky, M.D.
Vickie Y. Mabry-Height, M.D., M.P.H.
Fred D. Richardson III, M.D., M.S.P.H.
Dr. Richardson withdrew from consideration just prior to his scheduled interview with the Advisory Committee. The Committee interviewed Dr. Glovsky and Dr. Mabry-Height, and recommends Dr. Glovsky for appointment to the Hearing Board Medical Member position.
Based on a recommendation from the Executive Officer, with the concurrence of the Board Chair, the top two candidates were invited for interview by the Administrative Committee for its consideration and final recommendation to the full Board. The Administrative Committee recommends M. Michael Glovsky, M.D. for Board consideration.
