Members will be appointed by the BOD through a resolution.

Appointment consideration criteria will include, but will not be limited to, relevant experience, willingness and availability to serve, ability to get along with others, fairness, and ability to function as a team.

AUTHORITIES: The BOD has the right and authority to disband and discontinue the LC or a LC subcommittee, as well as appoint or dismiss a committee member or subcommittee member, with or without cause.
