SQL how to join a MAX on a SELECT sub-query ?

Hi.  Forgive the title I gave this question ... I'm not sure how to ask it except through this example ---
I have a table of employees EMP:

EmpID   LastName   Status
------|----------|-------
39    | Carter   | A
40    | Reagan   | I
41    | Bush     | A
42    | Clinton  | A
44    | Obama    | A

Select allOpen in new window

and a table of their dates of attendance ATTEND:

id  EmpID   Attended
---|------|-----------
1  | 44   | 08/01/2016
2  | 42   | 06/01/2016
3  | 41   | 06/01/2016
4  | 40   | 04/01/2016
5  | 39   | 04/01/2016
6  | 39   | 03/01/2016

Select allOpen in new window

I need to create a SELECT that shows which active status "A" employees have not attended since 05/01/2016  (mm/dd/yyyy).  The result, I imagine, should look like this:

EmpID   LastName   lastdate
------|----------|-----------
39    | Carter   | 04/01/2016

Select allOpen in new window

I've tried several ways of doing this with joined "select" statements, but none seem to work right.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
