A member of the board of directors shall be appointed for a term of 3 years and shall
serve thereafter until his or her successor has been appointed and sworn to assume
the duties of the office. Terms of board members are staggered so that two directors
are appointed one year, three directors are appointed the following year, and two
directors are appointed in the third year of the rotation. Two at-large directors
shall be appointed in the same year; the central, south, and east region directors
shall be appointed in the same year; and the north region and west region position
shall be appointed in the same year.
