Four year terms

Composition

The Board shall consist of eleven members appointed by the Governor, subject to confirmation by the General Assembly, on the basis of activity and knowledge in the conservation, exploration, study, and management of caves. The Director of the Department of Historic Resources, or his designee, serves as an ex officio member.

If there is only a number listed (Seat 7), there is no specific criteria for that seat. A “citizen” seat requires someone who is not affiliated with that profession.
