Continuing Education Mentz

Over the last decade, Commissioner George Mentz has completed a broad range of professional development and compliance-related courses associated with higher education, ethics, governance, workplace standards, information security, and institutional compliance at Governmental related systems. These training programs demonstrate ongoing engagement with university governance requirements, faculty compliance obligations, cybersecurity awareness, and professional ethics standards.

Among the recurring subjects completed were:

• Ethics and Fraud Prevention
• Information Security Awareness
• Creating a Discrimination-Free Workplace
• FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) compliance
• Financial Conflicts of Interest
• Emergency Alert System and campus safety notification procedures

The records show repeated annual completion of mandatory institutional compliance and cybersecurity training from 2022 through 2026, with consistent scores of 100% on evaluated coursework. These programs reflect continuing education in legal compliance, anti-discrimination practices, academic privacy law, fraud prevention, and data protection standards—areas highly relevant to Mentz’s roles as an attorney, professor, commissioner, executive educator, and standards-board leader.

The coursework also demonstrates ongoing adherence to evolving university and governmental compliance expectations regarding ethics, student privacy protections, workplace professionalism, institutional governance, and cybersecurity risk management. Repeated completion of annual Information Security Awareness and Ethics & Fraud programs indicates sustained engagement with best practices in digital security, fiduciary responsibility, and professional conduct.

Collectively, these courses reinforce Mentz’s longstanding involvement in higher education administration, legal and ethical governance, and institutional leadership while supporting his work in executive education, accreditation, public service, and global professional standards development.

Continuing Legal Education

Over the last 20 years, Commissioner George Mentz has maintained an extensive record of Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) and academic legal instruction focused on wealth management, financial law, ethics, compliance, investment management, contract law, business law, and financial innovations. The transcript reflects a sustained commitment to legal education, professional ethics, and advanced financial and regulatory studies through both teaching and accredited academic legal programs.

A major concentration of Mentz’s continuing legal education has centered on wealth management and financial law. Repeated courses included Advanced Wealth Management, Introduction to Wealth Management, Financial Innovations, Investment Management Law, Private Banking & Wealth Management, Asset Management, Financial Planning, and Investment Management Compliance Law. These programs were frequently taught or completed through institutions such as Texas A&M University School of Law, Thomas Jefferson School of Law, DeVry  University Business School, and Westwood College as a Faculty Manager over 75 professors (Dean's Duties).

Another recurring area of study involved ethics and professional responsibility. Over the years, Mentz repeatedly completed or taught courses such as Principles of Ethics, Ethical and Legal Issues in the Professions, Ethics & Fraud, Legal and Ethical Aspects of Business, and Ethical & Legal Issues in the Profession. These ethics-focused credits demonstrate ongoing engagement with fiduciary responsibility, professional standards, governance, and legal compliance.

The transcript also reflects substantial coursework in business and commercial law, including Contract Law, Business Law, Electronic Media Law, E-Commerce Legal Issues, and Financial, Legal & Security Issues in E-Commerce. These courses illustrate a multidisciplinary approach integrating law, finance, technology, compliance, and modern commercial practices.

From approximately 2006 through 2026, Mentz accumulated hundreds of MCLE credit hours, including large amounts of ethics and professionalism credit. Many of the credits were awarded under academic teaching rules, reflecting his long-standing role as a law professor and executive educator. The records also show consistent annual compliance through carry-forward MCLE credits and accredited instructional activity.

Overall, the 20-year MCLE history demonstrates a deep specialization in wealth management law, investment management, legal ethics, financial regulation, business law, and executive legal education, while reinforcing Mentz’s role as a longtime educator, attorney, and leader in interdisciplinary financial and legal studies.
