| 29 | terms. Any appointment to fill a
vacancy shall be for the | ||||||
| 30 | unexpired portion of the term. A member appointed
to fill a | ||||||
| 31 | vacancy for an unexpired term for a duration of 2 years or more | ||||||
| 32 | may be reappointed for a maximum of one term and a member | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | appointed to fill a vacancy for an unexpired term for a | ||||||
| 2 | duration of less than 2 years may be reappointed for a maximum | ||||||
| 3 | of 2 terms
shall be eligible for reappointment to

| ||||||
| 4 | term. The Director may remove any member for cause at any time | ||||||
