The Board shall consist of members elected from dairy cooperatives
which have a member or members residing in the State of Illinois. Each

the milk promotion program. The term of office for members of the Milk
Promotion Board shall be for 3 years except the term of the members of
the Board first taking office shall be for one, 2 or 3 years as
